About this Vintage Print Ad

This advertisement warns about the dangers of dry, dehydrated hair caused by modern hair treatments and environmental factors. It promotes Charles Antell Formula No. 9, which contains natural, full-potency anhydrous lanolin, as a solution to restore moisture, shine, and manageability to hair. The ad emphasizes that ordinary hair products and simply wetting the hair cannot replace the lost moisture, and only their lanolin-based formula can truly nourish and protect hair. The ad also offers a free trial of the product.

  • Brand: Charles Antell
  • Product: Charles Antell Formula No. 9
  • Tagline: Without This Vital MOISTURE HUMAN HAIR CAN 'DIE OF THIRST'
  • Publication: Life Magazine
  • Year: 1954

Objects in the advertisement: text box, product logo
