We all know that pro lifers will tote that the abortion is a "million dollar industry!" and that doctors only do it for the 'blood money'.
Or how about those odd balls that say that the fetuses are sold to other
countries as delicacies?
Well PC'ers.......
I bring you Henna 'n' Placenta! rofl
I was grandmother's 'hood' and decided to stop by the beauty supply
store since they don't require you to have a beautician's license to buy their products and I wanted some hot oil teatments for my hair.
Well up at the counter I spied this little beauty and just picked it up because it said it had to do with restoring hair health.
Only when I got into the car and went to look over the directions did I notice the name.......and on the back it states that it actually has 'Extract of Animal Placenta'
I'll tell you how well it works later on. rofl

Just think, there is someone, somewhere that collects those placentas.
"So...what do you do for a living?"
"Oh, ya know, I collect placentas, dabble a little in hair care products, nothing big."
I'm all for using using excess birth products (not just animal) if they have practical applications. Why let it go to waste, right? xp

Oh man, now that I think of it, a natural food market I used to shop at a few years ago carried that stuff. If I remember right, it worked pretty well, but left my hair feeling a bit gritty.

I honestly would not use any natural birth products from any living thing. Sounds too gross to me. But I really think that's funny... if someone goes into a shop and sees that. XD

Eh, I thought about the whole 'gross factor', but I and other's really can't object because most of our hair products, like hair gel is made out of animal fat - hell, some of the tastiest food is boiled/fried/soaked in animal fat.
If we can eat food that has been cooked in something that padded some animal's a** without batting an eye, then why not use a placenta?
But good news! biggrin
The henna 'n' placenta does a great job!
Even though it kinda smelled like old man to me,
it left my hair quite soft. 4laugh

Oh, my mom uses that stuff. I used it, once. I heard that it's not from human sources. I've also heard that it may cause hormonal problems, especially from young children. I'll have to research it more.
(I use henna for tatoos! But it's also good haircare, apparantly. Unless your hair is light. It would stain just like it does to skin.)

Hmm. Interesting.
I just colored my hair with Lush henna, but as far as I know it had no placenta in it.

It isn't just for beauty shops and whole foods places, either.
They sell Henna 'n Placenta at Walgreens.

They sell it at Albertsons, too. I've googled it, but I can't get anything other than people trying to sell the stuff. Or at least anything that's not bullshit. http://www.carefair.com/Skincare/Placenta_Use_in_Cosmetics_1924.htmlQuote: Placenta cosmetics are another proven trend that follows in the heels of ayurveda skincare, skin patches, and acid peels. First started with a simple injection in the 1930s, it has been hailed as an excellent skin healer because of its nourishing qualities. Since the placenta is the lining of the womb, which helps the fetus get its food, placenta cosmetics has been proven to produce wonders for the skin. Gee, you think that maybe this is because a fetus a) is soaking in amniotic fluid for nine months b) is brand spankin' new right after it's born, having had no opportunity to damage its skin with sun or irritants? Quote: Placenta is best known as an anti-aging product. Placenta cosmetics do their jobs by stimulating cell renewal function in the body How? Quote: Today, there are plenty of placenta based natural skin care products that include an assortment of wrinkle creams and face masks. Not restricted to women, there are also aftershaves for men, eye creams, breast creams, and collagen based creams.... Holy crap. Quote: Placenta based cream scrubs also help to clear pores and stimulate blood circulation... 1. Eew. 2. Just like ANYTHING scrubbed on skin. Quote: which helps prevent cellulite (remember, poor blood circulation and a slow metabolism helps lead to the buildup of cell waste beneath the surface of the skin.) Wait... I thought cellulite was just fat? Quote: Keep in mind that the FDA does not approve products that claim to be “hypoallergenic” or “cruelty to animal free.” Your wording confused me. Should be "regulate" or "approve which products are/are not..."'

The placenta stuff left it very soft and tamed the majority of my split ends

I've seen hair stuff with placenta in it at Ulta before. I'm not sure that I'd ever be able to try the stuff myself, though (no matter how damaged my hair gets. I can't use anything besides the smoothing stuff I use now or I'll have one of the pyramids at Giza on my head, only made of coarse red hair).

Black tea + henna makes for a natural hair dye which is good for dark hair that wants to go darker.
tea has natural staining properties.
I doubt that placenta is a necessary ingredient, however.

I've actually used the placenta rinses. Many of them are derived from animal placenta, mostly from livestock. Others are synthetic, and slightly oilier. I've opted for the synthetic varieties, mostly due to extensive damage to my hair from color removal and dyejobs gone wrong. The extra moisture seems to make the repair process a little faster. However, I'm all for using livestock leftovers! I'd no sooner protest this than having pigs' feet at the grocer's.

Good point. If you're gonna kill animals for food, isn't it is more productive and realistic to use any part you can?
However, I've heard horror stories that I thank and hope are unfounded about horses. Apparantly, there are places where they farm mares, get them pregnant to use their hormones for hormone replacement, and then slaughter or abort the foals. That's horrible if it's true. What a cruel waste. I'm hoping hair-placenta does not share a similar origen.
