“Being a Head of CeraVe has its perks 😉…Nod yes if you like my new @cerave Gentle Hydrating Shampoo Bottleheads!” she captioned the video.
According to Investopedia, CeraVe is a skincare and hair company that was purchased by L’Oréal in 2017 for $1.3 billion.
Bueckers joined NBA Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis and social media star Charli D’Amelio as the brand’s new “Heads of CeraVe” to promote their dermatologist-developed haircare line.
Paige Bueckers Breaks Diana Taurasi’s All-Time UConn Record
Paige Bueckers survived an injury scare to edge past the legendary Diana Taurasi in UConn’s all-time leading scorer list. Bueckers scored 23 points and bagged nine rebounds to help the Huskies defeat Seton Hall 91-49 on Wednesday.

The fifth-year guard now has 2,158 points and has nabbed the ninth spot on the list ahead of Taurasi, further cementing her place as a women’s college basketball legend.
A six-time Olympic gold medalist, Taurasi has played in the WNBA for 20 years and is the league’s all-time leading scorer.
“She draws a lot of attention to herself [on the court], which is good, and obviously, she could go out there and try to get 25 shots every night if she wanted it to be that way, but she doesn’t,” UConn coach Geno Auriemma said about Bueckers after the win over Seton Hall.
“I just want to make sure she takes advantage of all the opportunities that she has,” the coach continued. “Every time she does force the action. Every time she is coming down the floor, she’s one of the few players out there that you see her head is always up.
“She sees everything that’s going on. The more aggressive she is, the better our team is, and that doesn’t always represent how many points you scored and how many shots you took,” he added.

Buecker’s record-setting performance did not come easy. She limped off to the locker room after clutching her knee in the first half’s final minutes. The 23-year-old bounced back to the court in the third quarter and dismissed any injury concerns as UConn secured the victory.
The Huskies star is the overwhelming favorite to be picked first overall in the 2025 WNBA Draft. But before she takes her next steps, she must focus first on leading UConn to its first national championship title in nine years.
