Hydrolyzed Human Hair Keratin

[Supergirl]

This is, in my opinion, a top quality protein for protecting and reinforcing the hair structure. But there is something I've never really thought of before regarding this ingredient: Just whose human hair are they using to get the keratin?

I'm kind of hoping it isn't deceased folks, but that's a real possibility now isn't it?

ewwww... not from dead people

Maybe they get it from processed human hair.

They have to cut the hair down to specific sizes when they sell it. Maybe it's leftovers from the cuttings.

E-mail Joico and find out I always wondered the same thing whenever I look at the bottle...whose HHHK?

Probably just synthesized and use the same amino acids that make up human keratin. Or just a sales gimmick. There would have to be some type of disclaimer if they were using human protein(I think anyway).
