Breck Shampoo
is an American brand of
shampoo
that is also known for its
Breck Girls
advertising
campaign.
In 1930 Dr. John H. Breck, Sr. (June 5, 1877 – February 1965) of
Springfield, Massachusetts
, founded Breck Shampoo. Advertising that "every woman is different," by the 1950s, the shampoo was available in three expressions, color-coded for easy identity:
[
1
]
D
(red label) "For Dry Hair"
O
(yellow label) "For Oily Hair"
N
(blue label) "For Normal Hair"
In 1936, son Edward J. Breck (1907 - 1993) assumed management of Breck Shampoo and hired commercial artist Charles Gates Sheldon (1889 – 1961) to draw women for their advertisements. Sheldon's early portraits for Breck were done in pastels, with a
soft focus
and halos of light and color surrounding them. He created romantic images of feminine beauty and purity. He preferred to draw "real women" as opposed to professional models.
In 1957 Ralph William Williams succeeded Sheldon as the Breck artist. Unlike Sheldon, he often used professional women. Breck advertisements ran regularly in magazines such as
Ladies Home Journal
,
Woman's Home Companion
,
Seventeen
,
Vogue
,
Glamour
, and
Harper's Bazaar
. They were most often on the back cover of the magazine. During these years, Breck Girls were identified through the company's sponsorship of
America's Junior Miss
contests. After Williams' death in 1976, the advertising tradition stopped.
In 1963, Breck was sold to Shulton Division of
American Cyanamid
, a chemical company based in New Jersey.
In 1990, Breck was sold to the
Dial Corporation
. Martin Himmel Inc. acquired Breck in 2001, which unveiled the "Breck is Back!" campaign.
In 2006, Breck was acquired by
Dollar Tree
of
Chesapeake, Virginia
. It continues to sell the variety of shampoos, plus moisturizing body washes and bubble baths in a variety of fragrances, such as "Lavender Lily" (2006) and "Vanilla Melon" (2007).
The Breck Girls ads are now in the advertising history records in the
Smithsonian National Museum of American History
.
