CINCINNATI , December 5, 2011 (press release) – Head & Shoulders(R) unveiled today The Good Girlfriend Guide, an e-manual of positive girlfriend-to-girlfriend advice tackling everything from beauty faux pas to relationship hang-ups. In July, Head & Shoulders' girlfriend ambassador, Alyson Hannigan, joined the iconic brand on a mission to end 'head-scratching' behavior by encouraging women across the country to visit the Head & Shoulders for Women Facebook Fan page to share their girlfriend wisdom.

With over 14,000 entries, the Good Girlfriend Guide combines real women's advice with expert tips from Head & Shoulders celebrity stylist Sunnie Brook Jones, Head & Shoulders dermatologist Dr. Ilyse Lefkowicz and beauty experts Amber Katz, Beauty Blogging Junkie, and Aly Walansky, My Gloss. The result -- a truly collaborative e-manual filled with suggestions on how to tackle 'head-scratching' behavior. The Good Girlfriend Guide, published through Barnes & Noble's self-publishing platform, PubIt(TM), is available in digital format and exclusively at Barnes & Noble's NOOK Store(TM).

"I was blown away by the great girlfriend advice and tips pouring in from across the country," says Alyson Hannigan, Head & Shoulders celebrity brand ambassador. "It's amazing to see how enthusiastic and eager women are to help one another."

"The purpose behind Head & Shoulders' Good Girlfriend Guide is to give women confidence by arming them with advice from the best experts out there -- their own girlfriends," says April Anslinger, Brand Manager of Head & Shoulders(R) at Procter & Gamble. "Confidence can come from the simplest of things, from having a great hair day to reaching your pre-baby weight and our girlfriends give us the support and advice to make it happen."

Head & Shoulders is continuing to pay the good girlfriend movement forward by working with non-profit organization Women's Empowerment, which will receive all proceeds from the eBook. Women's Empowerment educates and supports women in need with the skills and confidence necessary to find jobs, find homes and live a healthy lifestyle.

Celebrating 50 years of proven technology, Head & Shoulders is leading a new charge to help women with heading scratching behaviors by offering easy solutions for beautiful looking hair. To learn more, visit the Head & Shoulders for Women Facebook Fan page.
