Are you sitting down? Yes? Okay, good.
You are looking at the newest face of Pantene‘s Aqua Light campaign.
(Oh, there goes the heart-beating thing again.)
Starting today, if you live in North America, you might just be seeing me on your television (35+ networks!) for the next few months.
(Dying.)
I’ve had 5 months to prepare for this, and yet, I’m still speechless. Can you believe this? I can’t believe this.
The month of March is going to be crazy for me, with lots of super cool things planned with the Pantene team, including taking over Pantene’s Facebook and Twitter pages, and a series of Hair Thursday posts about my experience shooting a national hair commercial. (Holy crap, it was insane, and I promise to not spare a detail.)
In the meantime, here’s the commercial.
(This is the spot that is playing in Canada, and there is a another spot playing in America as well.)
If you need me today, I’ll be staring at the television set hoping to catch a glimpse of some swishing action.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

February 27, 2012 at 9:34 amSo great, and officially the first Pantene ad where I wasn’t convinced they were using stunt hair. Great choice, Pantene people! And congratulations to you, Ms. Gorgeous.

February 27, 2012 at 9:46 amAmazing! Congratulations and wow! You do have beautiful hair!
(Oh and vaguely relevant discovery of the day – Pantene is pronounced ‘Panteen’ in the US yet ‘Pantenn’ here in the UK, how odd!

February 27, 2012 at 9:56 amCONGRATULATIONS! I love Pantene and so pleased that someone I know (Camp Mighty – I’m the one with the bad hair because I didn’t have travel sized product ready for the trip) who actually does have awesome hair is selling product. I agree with Linda, I was always suspicious of stunt hair… until now.

You look beautiful in the commercial, and your hair is perfectly swishy.
