You might not expect an ad for hair dye to be especially romantic, but hair cosmetics company Schwarzkopf Professional may have pulled it off.

Though the ad encourages viewers to celebrate love “not just on Valentine’s Day,” it’s clearly timed to take advantage of the spending spree that accompanies the holiday. The National Retail Foundation estimates that the average American who celebrates Valentine’s Day will spend more than $130 on candy, cards, gifts and dinner. In total Americans are expected to spend $17.3 billion.
