Dating to 1954, this TV commercial for Halo Shampoo features Peggy Lee, singing the praises of the "zero soap shampoo". Halo debuted in 1938, and was one of the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Company's star products. The Halo slogan was "Soaping dulls hair, while Halo glorifies it." Advertisements and commercials like this one claimed that the lack of oils and harsh chemicals in Halo, made the product clean-rinsing and safe for children.
Over the years the Colgate-Palmolive Company used celebrities and program sponsorships to endorse their product. In the 1940s, the product jingle, "Halo, Everybody, Halo," was introduced on the radio and early TV. Through the following decades, many celebrities and recording artists, including Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, and Eddie Cantor, sang the Halo jingle. In 1956, their ads claimed they were "America’s #1 Selling Shampoo." Halo was still being sold in the late 1970s.

Peggy Lee is an American treasure. Thank you

[@exterminateparasites3185]

How so?

[@friendofdorothy9376]

That was indeed an attractive bottle, with its shape and those ridges in it. Those may have also served the purpose of easier handling with wet hands.

1:12- "....that GLORIFIES your hair!"

[@michaelkline884]

I loved that theme song and the shampoo It seemed like once they switched to “new” plastic bottles in the late 1960’s it wasn’t sold anymore Herbal Essence shampoo was the next new product! 😂

[@daisygage7557]

I used the halo shampoo in the early 1970’s , probably until 1975 , it was in a plastic bottle , I have 2 bottles still .

As seen on "THE COLGATE COMEDY HOUR".
"HALO" jingle written by Joe Rines.

"They don't make 'em like that anymore." Thanks 😊

[@TrapperAaron]

Gotta get me some of that! Back when shampoo came in a glass bottle!

[@imhigh0013]

Not one blink. Maybe when back was turned... but not once.

[@Michelle-Eden]

What did shampoo smell like in 1954?

[@jaredevildog6343]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@2minniegirl]

Same here

[@goldwaffle5052]

Halo is truly THE shampoo of all time

[@johjoh978]

her voice is so pretty that its almost depressing

[@shipwreckedsailor586]

Awesome throwback. If only the world was still so innocent.

[@regularkcereal]

I don’t understand what they mean when they say times were so innocent back then

[@jourwalis-8875]

@@regularkcereal You have a point there!

[@shipwreckedsailor586]

@@regularkcereal Compared to today...is what people mean

Not sure we can say it was "innocent" since barely 10 years before they were in the middle of WWII...

[@regularkcereal]

@@shipwreckedsailor586 I need an example I’m genuinely confused. Like as in we don’t want to start another war? Seems history just repeats itself.

[@2minniegirl]

I never had halo before i wish i had it

[@jaredevildog6343]

Thanks for the video!

[@reubenguttenberg7405]

What a dog

[@johnnyb3126]

Great stuff ☺️

He's a tramp but we love him

[@robertwest3093]

Why don't they make commercials like this anymore?

[@SixHundredandThirteen]

Because it ain't 1954 no more

[@spergicide97]

So this is the new Halo Infinite commercial?

[@reubenguttenberg7405]

Peg from lady and the tramp

[@eddiejones.redvees]

This add is the same age has I am how things have change in my life time

[@A3Kr0n]

What a scam! Adding water to bar soap, putting it in a fancy bottle then charging more money. The next thing they'll probably do is make something to replace bar soap entirely. A body wash if you will.

[@weapon131]

This has to be the first bad vintage ad Song I heard lmao. Just in, it sucks. She knows, look at her singing it.

[@tedcole9936]

Hello Halo Hello Hello How Low?

[@allenlindsey1175]

She's singing so nicely about natural beauty @ she got 10lb of peroxide on her shoulders

[@jourwalis-8875]

What a hairstyle she had. Shorter than many today! But very 1950s!

She was also promoting Chesterfield cigarettes at the time (and often appearing on Perry Como's CBS Chesterfield show).

The use of "use it" twice has angered me for 61 years
