It begins with the words “America, we’re in for four years of awful hair"_ by [Rose Minutaglio / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Rose Minutaglio / People Feb 6, 2017 4:13 AM UTC by [Rose Minutaglio / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Rose Minutaglio / People Feb 6, 2017 4:13 AM UTC Did a hair product company just deliver the ultimate dig to [President Donald Trump](http://people.com/tag/donald-trump/)? In [It’s a 10](https://itsa10haircare.com/)‘s Super Bowl commercial featuring a montage of people with unique hairstyles, the narrator begins by saying: “America, we’re in for four years of awful hair. So it’s up to you to do your part by making up for it with great hair.” The ad then shows a variety of people and their hairstyles, as the narrator implores each of them to do their part in a fight for “good hair.” President Trump, who [reportedly takes](http://people.com/bodies/donald-trump-hair-growth-drug-doctor/) a prostate-related drug intended to stimulate hair growth and has been widely [mocked](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHq8O0ievbo) for his hair, took office of Jan. 20 for his four-year term as president. The 30-second spot ends with another envelope-pushing statement: “Let’s make sure these next four years are ‘It’s 10 years.’ Do your part.” > [](https://twitter.com/Itsa10Haircare/status/828422265129820161) Some social media users loved the bit. > [](https://twitter.com/JessicaPark24/status/828422838059147265) > [](https://twitter.com/sweeney%5Fmae/status/828423069236498432) While others didn’t take fondly to the subtle political message, threatening to boycott the company. > [](https://twitter.com/PhillipFour13/status/828423454852538368) It’s a 10 wasn’t the only Super Bowl ad that waded into politics — [84 Lumber’s contribution to Commercial Bowl LI](http://people.com/sports/super-bowl-84-lumber-commercial-controversial/) was a 90-second spot that depicted a Mexican mother-daughter duo setting off on the perilous journey across the border to the United States. _This_ [_article_](http://people.com/sports/a-dig-at-trump-super-bowl-ad-warned-of-4-years-of-awful-hair/) _originally appeared on People.com_ Did This Super Bowl Ad Take a Dig at Trump's Hair? ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4660749/super-bowl-itsa10haircare-ad-trump/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4660749/super-bowl-itsa10haircare-ad-trump/"},"headline":"A Dig at Trump?
