Silvikrin Shampoo
Silvikrin helps the modern girl-about-town achieve "do-what-you-want-able" hair in this 1960s ad starring Pattie Boyd.
Overview
Model Pattie Boyd achieves "do-what-you-want-able, go-out-at-once-able" hair with the help of Silvikrin shampoo in this hip 1960s advert, directed by Hollywood blacklist exile Joseph Losey. Grabbing the bottle and sticking her locks under the tap, she reappears seconds later with a perfectly dried and styled 'do, ready to sashay downstairs to the carful of boys anticipating her arrival. What more could the fashionable 60s girl want?
Later in 1964, Boyd would play a small role in A Hard Day's Night, on the set of which she met future husband George Harrison, and in 1965 had the venerable credit of "girl perfuming ankle" in The Knack ...and How to Get It. Actor (and dad of TV presenter Fern) Tony Britton provides his dulcet tones for voiceover duties in this advert.
