“I’m honored to be chosen as the new Head & Shoulders hair ambassador. It’s an iconic brand that I trust to take care of my hair and scalp. Troy Polamalu and his legendary hair have left a big helmet to fill, but I’m ready to take on this role and join the Head & Shoulders family,” said Beckham Jr.

Recognized for his great football talent, as well as his iconic hair and unique sense of style, Odell was a natural fit for the brand. Odell rose to superstardom last season, winning Offensive Rookie of the Year and an ESPN ESPY Award for his famed one-handed catch. How is he preparing for his second NFL season? With confidence and no distractions. “Thanks to Head & Shoulders, I know my hair and scalp are healthy, so I can stay focused on the field and perform my best,” said Beckham Jr.

Starting today, fans can see Odell in his first ad for Head & Shoulders on the brand’s YouTube (https://goo.gl/nKctcT) channel. The ad highlights Odell’s shoulders and all that he carries on them: hopes, dreams, his reputation, and the admiration of his fans. His shoulders were made to carry greatness - not dandruff.
