  • Vintage Vosene Adverts

    Well, I would've liked to have posted a thread on here about the girl from the current SCS adverts asking if any men thought she was beautiful and would like to be in a relationship with her but I can't as this website is about the 70's, 80's & 90's.
    So instead I'll ask if there are any old TV commercials for Vosene shampoo which anyone can recall in particular.

        Actually the very ad you're talking about, or at least one of them as Liz Sladen did a couple, is on YouTube.

          Here's a link to an earlier Vosene ad from the 80's:
          http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV7G7PihUXQ Does the tune used in it sound familiar to anyone?
          I'm not sure, but I seem to recall seeing a slightly different version of it which started off in the swimming baths.
          Does anyone think they often released two different versions of these particular ads?

            there it is and i can remember it so very well.
            does not seem that long ago that ad.

            that vosene was strong stuff. strong scent.

              I'm nearly 100% sure I remember seeing adverts for this particular shampoo as a child in the 70's. One particular one, I think it was for Vosene, was one which said it was 'good for mums'. It was actually similar to a scene from the film 'Curly Sue'. It showed a boy in the bath having his hair washed, & I think he might have been sitting with one leg cocked over the side of the bath, which looks a bit unusual. I may very well be the only person living in Britain who actually remembers this advert, even the actors who took part in it may have completely forgotten about it.
              Well, who knows?

                Does this one ring a bell with anyone?
                (Note: It starts at 4.30 so you won't have to sit through all the other ads to get to it):

                    Actually I've a sneaking fancy the 'good for mums' advert I mentioned on here may have been for Earth Born shampoo. There's an advert for Earth Born on tv-ark from 1976 & the tune used in it sounds a little bit similar to the one for Vosene from 1978.
                    If anyone feels the need to correct me on this then feel free.
                    My long-term memory is better than my short-term memory, but it's not that good.

                      There is a shampoo advert from the 70's I can still remember quite vividly, & I think it could've been for Vosene. In it, a little boy is washing his hair while his dad is pulling funny faces at him, & he puts a shampoo sud on his dad's nose. Then, the boy's sister comes in the room and suggests to him that he should wash his hair 'like this'-with his fingertips.
                      I wish I had 50p for every time I've washed my hair with my fingertips-and they say TV doesn't influence people.

                        There's a link to one here from 1978. I wouldn't remember this one as my parents had no TV then, but perhaps I may have seen it on my nan's TV:

                        http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/mivana/medi..._1978&type=mp4

                        Notice the tune used in the background is very similar to the one featured in the 1984 ad.

                          As I seem to recall, this very same advert showed a blob of shampoo being poured into the palm of a hand.

                            Turns out now I'm not, there's someone on another forum somewhere who remembers it too, said it ran for years. If the boy ever went to school he must've been famous there for being been seen having his hair washed on telly.

                              'Ba ba ba ba pa, ba ba ba ba ba pa, ba ba ba ba pa, ba ba ba ba ba pa, ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba pa, ba ba ba'

                              That's what the tune used in the old Vosene ads goes like.
