Shampoo ads
They all promise healthy looking hair. Healthy looking?
Is it too much to actually want healthy hair rather than hair than merely looks healthy?

Yes. It is.
Hair, not being alive at all, can neither be healthy nor unhealthy. But I suppose that it could - just about - look healthy.

Also, the manufacturer can legally only make certain claims for the product.
They can't claim the stuff will actually make your hair healthier, because, as has been pointed out, hair is already dead past the roots.

So making it 'look' healthy is the best they can offer.

For the same reason
(hair being dead) it can not be nourished (I'm talking to you, Davina).

So really the adverts should say
Shampoo, it's embalming fluid for your scalp?
