Product placement
LUSH Hair: This is a brand of hair products. It ACTS as it is visible on a shopping bag held by one of the creators, and the brand name is printed on the bag. Removing it would not change what happens in the video, but it does identify a product being carried. The banner behind the creators also has "LUSH Curls" visible, which is a product line from LUSH Hair. This banner ACTS as it is a promotional display for the brand. Removing it would remove promotional material.
