Hollywood star and former wrestler Dwayne Johnson has responded with humor after a social media influencer questioned how the famously bald actor could successfully sell shampoo and conditioner products.
The lighthearted exchange began when TikTok creator Katy Napier shared a video showing products from Johnson’s personal care brand, Papatui, displayed on store shelves. In the clip, she pointed out that hair care products were being marketed alongside a life-size image of Johnson, who is widely recognized for his bald appearance.

He playfully remarked that even a demigod with impressive hair needs shampoo and conditioner from time to time. Maintaining the humorous tone, he also revealed that he planned to send a small gift to the influencer.
