Anzora Viola Cream, Masters of the Hair

Animated advert showcasing the remarkable effects of Anzora Viola Cream, produced in London and the market leader until Brylcreem appeared.

Anzora were based at 28-34 Willesden Lane, NW6 and until the arrival of Brylcreem dominated the male hair-care market. This animated advert first targets parents – “Anzora masters the hair” – with a group of schoolboys having their unruly hair slicked down by a teacher until a bald child appears. Next it features a young man, who is transformed into a suave figure by application of Anzora, which we’re told has no oil or grease and can include oil of violet for dry scalps
