Certainly there are lots of things in life that money won’t buy, but have you ever tried to buy them without money?

Give me a head with hair, long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen
Give me down to there hair, shoulder length or longer hair
Here baby, there, momma, ev’rywhere, daddy, daddy, hair
I’d let it fly in the breeze and get caught in the trees, give a home to the fleas in my hair.
A home for the fleas, a hive for the buzzin’ bees,
A nest for birds, there ain’t no words for the beauty, the splendor, the wonder of my hair
Oh say, can you see my eyes?
If you can, then my hair’s too short.
Flow it, show it,
Long as God can grow it, my hair!

My waist-length white and gray hair is a little hard to manage. I have been thinking about cutting it — but the HAIR earworm won’t let me.

I like it. Is the music set to a tune or something just for the advertisement? I am interested.

I was so sad when they stopped making Breck shampoo. It’s all I ever used going through my teens with long straight 60s/70s hair 🙂
These are great ads. The SIZE of the hair in the 80s was unreal, wasn’t it? lol
