Wow! This is really amazing! Seeing vintage ads like this makes you wonder on the definition of beauty before. I hope that ads nowadays will shift promote the paradigm enjoying oneself to be happier than being like someone else.

I agree with Sue! Vintage ads are really amazing. These ads represent and show the bright ideas and concepts of old designers.

This is indeed a vintage ad. Glad to have seen this print ad. This just proofs that media plays a vital role in shaping the perception of the society. Nowadays, you won't see ad like that. Instead, we admired and aimed to have a long, silky, straight black hair.

I was curious with "Kama Mama, Kama Binti". So I Google it and then I found out that it means "Like Mother, Like Daughter". And it is actually a poetry in Swahili.

I have studied advertising way back on college and I must say that this particular ad is very effective. The product did not just promote itself but also the relationship between a mother and a daughter.

Tony has a good point, beside enjoying one's innate self, the ad also promotes a mother and daughter relationship. I think, ads nowadays should only sell products but promote values as well.

Looking at the photo captures my heart. This is a simple ad that promotes mother's love and self acceptance. Great concept.
