The Pantene #BeautifuLGBTQ+ Campaign is launching for Pride Month 2022 as an initiative from the haircare brand to encourage self-expression amongst those who identify as LGBTQ+. The campaign recognizes the importance that a hair style or cut can have for showing one's true self to the world, and is seeing the brand work with Getty Images' Custom Content Photographers around the world. This is part of the #StyleWithPride movement and will feature subjects from all spectrums of the LGBTQ+ community showing their authentic selves.
Global LGBTQ+ Equality and Inclusion for P&G Brent Miller spoke on the Pantene #BeautifuLGBTQ+ Campaign saying, "Marketing and advertising images surround us every single day, and so many members of the LGBTQ+ community can relate to not feeling seen or represented in these images...Our goal with this campaign is to encourage brands to showcase beauty in its many forms and celebrate all the ways hair can be used to feel like the best, most authentic version of yourself.”
