Shelley appeared on the packaging/box (as well as print ads) for Nice 'n Easy by Clairol - from 1965 to the late '60s. Nice 'n Easy was a shampoo-in permanent two-step hair-coloring product which women could use at home. Step one was "Pour it on.. work it through." Step two was "Wait just minutes... rinse... shampoo!" The result was "Nice 'n Easy... so natural looking!" It was deemed so natural that "The closer he gets... the better you look!" Now who wouldn't want that?
