Garnier Fructis “47 Ronin” Ad?

The recent big budget box office bomb 47 Ronin is on one of my movie channels this evening, and one of the characters is some evil witch woman whose hair moves around according to her will, acting as appendages and such. And seeing this, I thought: “Hey, how about a shampoo tie-in ad for 47 Ronin using this character?”

So in this 47 Ronin shampoo ad, for Garnier Fructis (because they’re all about strong hair and such in their ads), this woman would be poor and miserable because her hair is limp and unmanageable. But then she uses Garnier Fructis shampoo, and her hair begins to move around, and she finds she can use it as a weapon, or do anything with it she chooses. And so she becomes rich and powerful, and all due to her powerful new hair, thanks to Garnier Fructis. Then the slogan says: “Garnier Fructis: Bring your hair to life!”

Here’s a picture of the character from 47 Ronin and her autonomous hair:
