You are totally correct about the hair being "dead" protein, EastVillageSiren, but the philosophy of Phylia is focused at the "root" of the issue (har, har), less so the strand. Though, depending on your lifestyle, emotional/environmental stressors, your hair will appear and behave differently, dead or no. Consider Mean Girls, or the use of hair strands in drug testing: your hair is full of secrets. Also yes I think they're biodegradable, and not for nothing, but they smell awesome.

Oh Beautyandtruth, ye of little faith! (Thank you for reading, and for calling us gorgeous and chic, by the way.) Whether the noted volume increase was a placebo effect or you know, actual insanity, Phylia's claims of lessening environmental stress (and encouraging the lessening of emotional/physical, etc. stress) for a noted betterment of your hair does make some modicum of sense: I encourage you to check out their website for more (http://phyliahair.com/science/). We're also talking prolonged use. Not a one-time thing. And frankly, at this point, I'm just psyched to share an organic, small-company haircare line that really delivers great results.

"call us crazy, seeming a bit more more plentiful. (Not crazy! According to Phylia, their products promote hair density.)" Ummm, come on. This blog is gorgeous and chic, but would do well to add a bit more common sense and evidence-based approach to its assertions about products. Do you really expect us to believe a few uses of shampoo and conditioner make hair more "plentiful" or "dense"? Think about it.

Since the hair is technically "dead" protein, not sure how products can nurture it. Treating the scalp makes sense but unless you leave active ingredients on your your scalp long enough, I'm not sure how beneficial a "nuturing" shampoo would be. Their website does note the importance of scalp massage, which anyone can do at home regardless of what you use to wash your hair. Sounds like the products coat the hair strands so they appear/feel thicker. I didn't see any solid research on their website as to how their products thicken or nurture hair. So if you have the money and like fragranced hair products I guess they're nice. If their products are biodegradable, even better.
