Karthika Shampoo’s New TVC Blends Heritage Hair Care with Modern Self-Expression

Chennai, May 28 : Karthika Shampoo, the heritage haircare brand from FMCG major CavinKare, has unveiled its latest television commercial that celebrates the confidence, beauty, and individuality women associate with their hair through a culturally rooted yet contemporary narrative. The new campaign reflects the growing preference among young consumers for hair care solutions that combine natural ingredient familiarity with modern-day conditioning benefits. 

Set against the backdrop of a vibrant competition, ‘My Braid My Pride’, the TVC showcases a young woman confidently flaunting her long braid, earning admiration from those around her. Through relatable storytelling and visually rich moments, the film highlights how hair continues to be deeply connected to identity, self-expression, and confidence for women across generations.

Speaking about the campaign, Mr. Rajat Nanda, Business Head – Personal Care at CavinKare, said, 

 “For Karthika, the braid has always been more than just a hairstyle — it has been a strong visual identity of the brand for many years and a symbol of pride, confidence, and individuality for women across generations. While ‘My Braid My Pride’ celebrates this emotional connection women share with their hair, the brand today is evolving into a larger philosophy of ‘My Life… My Choice… My Karthika’. It is a celebration of the confidence, resilience, strength, and independent spirit of today’s women. As women continue to transform and redefine themselves, Karthika as a brand wants to celebrate that journey, with hair continuing to remain at the heart of self-expression and identity.”

At the heart of the campaign is Karthika Shampoo’s promise of delivering 5 times more conditioning, enriched with the goodness of Hibiscus, Shikakai, and Kunkudukai, ingredients that reinforce the brand’s strong association with nature-inspired hair care.

With its blend of natural ingredient cues and modern storytelling, the film connects strongly with young women seeking manageable, well-conditioned hair while staying rooted in familiar beauty rituals. The campaign concludes with the Karthika Shampoo pack shot and brand sign-off, strengthening brand recall and product visibility.

The campaign is currently on air across television channels in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana in regional languages and also be amplified across digital and social media platforms to drive wider consumer engagement.
