LOS ANGELES, May 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AXE Hair has partnered with 20^th Century Fox's motion picture comedy The Internship, the highly-anticipated reunion of Wedding Crashers stars Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson, to put a comedic spin on the importance of first impressions.

In the film, which arrives in theaters everywhere June 7, Vaughn and Wilson's team of interns completely bomb their first impressions at Google and must find creative ways to gain an edge over the competition. Whether it's impressing a new boss or chatting up a cute co-intern, AXE Hair is working with the film to show guys how having the right look can help them make those first impressions count.

To showcase the difference great hair can make, AXE Hair celebrity spokestylist Amy Komorowski worked with actor Josh Gad, who plays the quiet-but-genius Google engineer "Headphones," to transform his look for the red carpet premiere of the film. Gad, who is known for sporting unruly curls, made quite the impression on fans when he stepped out with a sleek, clean-cut look from AXE Hair for the first time.    

"The characters I've been playing lately are all pretty hairy dudes that aren't exactly beacons of style," said Gad. "But red carpets are kind of special occasions, so when AXE Hair offered to hook me up with this clean-cut look for the night I thought it'd be a cool change."

AXE Hair Clean-Cut Look Pomade was used to take Gad from shaggy-to-sophisticated. But no matter what style guys are going for – messy, spiked-up, or clean-cut – AXE Hair has a product to help them achieve their best look.
