This baby has hair so incredible she’s now starring in a Pantene campaign
The haircare brand has signed up the one-year-old Instagram sensation in Japan.
We all dream of the thick, full locks we see on shampoo adverts. And nine times out of ten, those locks are on an adult model – but all that’s changing thanks to a new recruit on the modelling circuit: One-year-old baby Chanco.
Last summer, Chanco became a social media sensation, all thanks to her hair. The then seven-month-old went viral after her mother shared pictures showing Chanco’s full head of glossy black locks, with her Instagram account racking up more than 340,000 followers.
‘The Hair Story’ video tells the tale of how Chanco gained lots of attention online because of her impressive tresses – not all of it positive.
“One day a wonderful thing happened,” the narrator says, being the voice of Chanco. “A baby with lots of hair was about to get his hair cut. But when his mummy saw my pictures she realised that it’s OK to be different.”
“We feel [Chanco’s] beautiful hair has strong power that makes people positively move forward,” Ooshiaki Okura, P&G Japan Hair Care Associate Brand Director told People.
“We went straight to her mother because Chanco’s personality and special character matches our image for women we want to support.”
“The BEST brand ambassador for Pantene! Cutest baby with the best. hair. ever!” commented Instagram user Pinky.1995.
“At 35, still waiting for my hair to come in like that #hairgoals,” wrote Cookiebear315.
