Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson launched a men's skincare and shampoo line, Papatui, that left fans amused over a bald actor promoting a haircare product without a single strand of hair on his head.
While The Rock has become a well-known figure synonymous with strength and resilience, he is also best known for his shiny, polished bald head.
The 51-year-old superstar introduced Papatui last month in Target stores across the U.S. However, it was not the skincare range but rather Papatui's shampoo that raised eyebrows among shoppers.
The Rock’s haircare product provided comic fodder for fans and social media users as they wondered why a famously bald celebrity was promoting a shampoo.

A TikToker named @freakinfriction shared a clip on social media and said, “This man has no business in the shampoo department.”
“If you ever felt like you weren't meant for the job, take notes from the rock,” read the caption of the clip.
Few people commented on the video, with some agreeing that a bald man shouldn’t be selling haircare products, while others said it doesn’t matter as long as the shampoo works well.
Fans joked about how the brand “really chose one of the most famous bald men to represent shampoo”

“He has no business…” one comment said, to which @freakinfriction replied: “I wonder what they were thinking lol.”
“If it’s good, it’s good. Who cares who sells it,” another said.
His product “isn't locked up, cuz they know a hair shampoo from a man with no hair won't get stolen,” another wrote.

Following the launch of The Rock’s Papatui brand last month, the company has been promoting its products, such as its deodorant, body wash, eye gel, and more, on social media.
People who came across a post about the shampoo had similar thoughts about The Rock selling a haircare product.
“Really chose one of the most famous bald men to represent shampoo,” one commented on the post, while another said, “Wtf, rock is bald.”
“I love the rock but he ain't got no hair and was losing his in 98' so Imma skip this particular product until I'm bald,” said another comment.
