In the midst of the #MeToo Golden Globes, one shampoo commercial confused us all

Maybe don't call it a comeback?

As the Golden Globes kicked off the post-Harvey Weinstein 2018 awards season Sunday, no one knew exactly how it would go down.

But it was still something of a surprise when the weirdest thing that happened in the first hour was a shampoo commercial from L'Oréal.

After Elisabeth Moss, who won for Best Actress in a Drama TV Series, delivered a powerful speech about how women no longer exist on the margins, the viewing audience was treated to a pretty odd little ad starring Winona Ryder.

So, I guess that this commercial is trying to say that Winona Ryder had a comeback, but also so did her hair? I think the former could be argued what with Stranger Things and all, but I don't know enough of her follicle history to speak to her hair.

But, wait, so you should feel bad about your damaged hair, because it's the reason you haven't made a comeback? But have I been anywhere deserving of a comeback? Is the reason I haven't achieved career status that people could call a comeback should it slips away from me, my damaged hair?

Is my hair... bad?

As a shampoo commercial, it was A Lot™. And many people went through the same mental gymnastics trying to figure this one out.

Whatever it is, whatever it was. Your hair looks great, my hair looks great, and so does Winona's.
