Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson shared the perfect response after the famously bald star was called out for selling his own shampoo range.
Back in 2024, fans were left scratching their heads after finding out that Dwayne Johnson had launched a line of shampoos.
Yeah, you read that right, The Rock - a man who is famously bald - decided to release his own haircare products as part of his healthcare range, Papatui.
When Papatui launched and hit shelves in Target, people had a lot of opinions about the star creating a product he evidently doesn't have much use for.
"Just the rock promoting his... shampoo," wrote one user, as another added: "The rock sells shampoo... you can sell anything."
"Everytime I remember Dwayne 'the rock' Johnson has a 2 in 1 shampoo line, I laugh like a mad man all of a sudden. 'My hair would've loved this 2-in-1', he was funny for that," a third also stated, referring to his strapline.
Another user joked: "How the hell is the Rock going to drop a shampoo product and homeboy doesn’t even have hair?!?!?"
Hilariously, The Rock even added the tagline: "My hair would've loved this 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner."
TikTok user Katy Napier shared a video of herself checking out the Paptui range as she joked: "Don't give up on your dreams. The Rock is selling shampoo and conditioner, and he’s bald."
That clip quickly managed to catch the attention of Dwayne himself, who put on the wig he wear to play Maui in the live-action Moana film as he responded: "Ok this made me belly laugh.. HARD.
"And hey, sometimes a Demigod’s radiant and ravishing hair needs shampoo/conditioner. You’re Welcooooome Love ~ Maui."
He added: "Ps ~ I got a little gift coming your way," before shipping her a package of his products along with a personalized message.
When people did more research on Papatui, they also found out that there's more to it than just hair care.
"People are hating on the Rock for his shampoo but his brand also has skin and tattoo care which makes so much sense! Show Maui a little respect," this user commented.
In an interview with GQ, the WWE-Superstar-turned-actor opened up about what motivated him to release Papatui, stating that the inspiration behind the decision came from fan interactions.
"The interaction is always the same when it comes to [asking about my skin routine]," Johnson said. "They start looking around like: 'Hey, can I ask you: What do you do?' I wanted to get guys in the space of being comfortable owning our skin care and our self-care because we like to think - we try our best, by the way - to own all these other areas."
The personal health product line for men consists of 22 products, each priced under $10.
And every bit of the brand has been well thought out, including the name.
Papatui is split into two where "Tui" refers to a nickname that his Samoan grandfather, High Chief Peter Maivia, gave him as a child. And "Papa" is a nod to his "favorite role as a father to daughters, and in the Samoan language, it also translates to 'rock,'" as per the outlet.
The formulations are also well thought out, including skincare superstar ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide, and salicylic acid. The line is also formulated without parabens, sulfates, dyes, alcohol, or PEGs so it can be suitable for those with sensitive skin.
As for smells, we have lush coconut, sandalwood suede, and cedar sport.
So if you're in the mood to take some hair advice from a bald man - with the support of his specialists - then head over to Target and grab yourself one of The Rock's shampoos.
