Pantene and the Dresscode Project Launched Trans Visibility Campaign

Each campaign share will be turned into a donation for the project.

On November 20, the world celebrated Transgender Day of Remembrance and haircare brand Pantene joined in the various ways to honor the day, hoping to shed a light on the struggles that trans men and women face in salons, with a brand new campaign in collaboration with the Dresscode Project.

Founded in 2017, the Dresscode Project is a global initiative that aims to create and foster gender-affirming salons and barbershops — making the partnership with Pantene a perfect alignment. The campaign launched from the two brands aims to further the mission of the Dresscode Project, creating salons where trans and non-binary people can feel safe and welcome.

According to Dazed Beauty, Pantene conducted a survey with 200 people who identify as trans or non-binary and found that almost the majority of those polled — 93%, to be exact — recalled being misgendered while at a salon. Additionally, the brand found that a large amount of those surveyed also reported being anxious and stressed when entering a salon.

With this information at hand, Pantene aimed to address these issues with their new campaign by enlisting the Dresscode Project. For the collaboration launch, Pantene released a short film called "The Power of Hair," featuring multiple trans and non-binary activists — including Paris Lees, Ángela Ponce, Travis Alabanza, and Lea T — speaking on the power of having great hair that makes them feel confident and happy. "Finding my identity was finding how I want people to see me, and hair is such a big part of that," Travis says in the video, "and I think now I'm starting my journey with my hair."

Since its genesis, the Dresscode Project has fostered multiple initiatives to aid the trans and non-binary community including the Gender Free Hair Cut Club, which brings top professional hairstylists to LGBTQ2S+ youth at no cost. According to Dazed Beauty, Pantene will be making a donation to the Dresscode Project for every share the video receives through December 3. So get to sharing!
