WASHINGTON — Bryce Harper is monetizing his apparent preference for double-gunning hairdryers in the bathroom. A surprisingly well-produced commercial (below) dropped for the Blind Barber hair-care chain, just one day after the viral Instagram video of the well-coiffed Nats outfielder grooming himself with two Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryers. If you get the feeling that the original Instagram video was a viral marketing thing to draw attention toward the slugger’s endorsement deal, you’re not alone. A report last week confirmed as much. Compared with the first video, Harper really dialed up the vanity for this session at the vanity. And why not? Positive self-image can help when that unwashed hippie Noah Syndergaard is throwing at your face. Blind Barber has locations in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. As of press time, there are no D.C. locations. Harper is also in a contract year. I’m not saying — I’m just saying.
