The three part 'In Case of Dandruff' print ad series from shampoo brand L'angelica shows that when you've got dandruff, your head may as well be a snow-covered slope, ready for a series of [winter sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineered-for-whatever).

The ads lightly poke fun at [snowy scalps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verbs-dandruff-shampoo), showing different hairstyles recreated as ski courses, showing various courses, skiers and ski lifts. Interspersed between the strands of hair are snowy white flakes that are a representation of none other than dandruff itself.

The ads are simple and straightforward, but instead of throwing in the towel, a small bottle of L'angelica [dandruff shampoo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dandruff-relief) is placed beside text that reads "in case of dandruff," for all those times you'd rather not have your head double as a winter resort.
