This one says 'advanced formula designed to leave hair shiny and healthier looking'.
Perhaps dead hair is easier to shape and maintain. Seems like a similar principle to taxidermy. I'd love to see that on a shop front :
Max's Taxidermy - for healthier looking pets.
Actually, isn't all hair dead anyway? It's all just advertising rubbish. I heard they just use fairy liquid in hospitals. I guess it lasts longer.
