When one of our faithful readers suggested I look into using Hask Placenta conditioning treatment as a hair mask yesterday, I thought, Hold up—what was that second word? Placenta? Really? Then I Googled it and found out that not only does it exist (and contains animal—not human—proteins), but this stuff has some pretty die-hard fans…

Notice I just went with a picture of a girl with pretty hair here. You can thank me later.

In fact, according to most of the customer reviews out there, it's basically a magical silky-hair-making potion thanks to all the nourishing properties naturally found in placenta (because it feeds babies in the womb, you see).

But there are a couple of interesting points to make. The first is the company says it's cruelty-free, so that means no animals were tested or harmed in the making of the products. The second is that some question its long-term safety since it's not actually FDA approved.

I know you guys will probably want me to weigh in here, but I'm not sure what to make of this whole thing just yet—I'm too distracted by the thought of putting placenta on my head (ack!) at the moment. So let's open the floor. What do you guys think? Any of you try this stuff? Kind of want to now? Does it freak you out? Sound off.

Oh, and here's a look at some of the products below:
