Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is seeing the funny side after an influencer was left scratching her head over the star’s latest product endorsement.
Taking to TikTok on Tuesday, June 2, influencer Katy Napier (@happyyellowco) shared a video of herself coming across the Jumanji actor’s personal care brand Papatui.
In the footage, which subsequently went viral with more than five million likes, Napier showed the products as well as an ad of Johnson, 54, which featured his bald head.
“Don’t give up on your dreams,” Napier said in the clip. “The Rock is selling shampoo and conditioner, and he’s bald.”
Text overlaying the video doubled down on the sentiment. It read, “Go for it.”
Two days later, Johnson humorously clapped back with a video response posted via his social media accounts.
Johnson stitched Napier’s video with a clip of himself wearing his long locks in character as Maui for the live-action Moana movie.
“Ok this made me belly laugh.. HARD 😂😂😂 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 🤜🏾🤛🏻,” Johnson captioned the post. “And hey, sometimes a Demigod’s radiant and ravishing hair needs shampoo/conditioner 😜🪝 You’re Welcooooome 🎶Love ~ Maui 🪝”
Proving there are no hard feelings, Johnson added, “Ps ~ I got a little gift coming your way, @happyyellowco 😉🥂.”

It’s not the first time Johnson’s Papatui brand has raised eyebrows with shoppers.
When the brand launched in March 2024, some people made similar jokes about buying shampoo and conditioner promoted by a bald man.
“Boy, this man has no business in the shampoo department,” one puzzled TikTok user joked at the time, while another quipped, “I’m not gonna buy shampoo from a hairless man!”

Speaking to GQ, Johnson revealed that he decided to launch the personal care brand after years of being asked about his skincare routine.
“The interaction is always the same when it comes to [asking about my skin routine],” Johnson told the outlet at the time. “They start looking around like, ‘Hey, can I ask you: What do you do?’ I wanted to get guys in the space of being comfortable owning our skin care and our self-care because we like to think — we try our best, by the way — to own all these other areas.”
He added, “I’m certainly no expert, but I’ve been lucky enough to have access to some of the best.”
The former WWE wrestler has also never been one to shy away from joking about his lack of hair.
In April 2017, Johnson joked via X, “I’m not bald because I went bald. I’m bald because my hair is a cross between an afro and hair from a Lama’s ball sac.”
