Alexa Ray Joel is the new face and hair of Prell Shampoo (They still make that?!), but the resume-boosting gig isn’t the only new thing taking up residence in Alexa’s life these days. Look closely at the 24-year-old celebuspawn and you may notice something distinctly different about her once prominent nose.
Like Mother, Like Daughter: Aspiring singer Alexa Ray Joel is making her debut as the new face (and hair) of Prell Shampoo, nearly 25 years after her model mom Christie Brinkley showed off her luxurious locks in a 1986 commercial for the one-time haircare giant.
