Hair Donation for oil spills

Hair Donation for oil spills

http://www.matteroftrust.org/

I have a ton of hair that has fallen out over the months that I have accumulated after shampooing.  I'm going to donate it to Matter of Trust which collaborates with salons throughout the US, Canada, and abroad.  They use the hair clippings to soak up oil spills.

You need to find a salon that does this because it is not cost effective to donate on your own.

When I started saving it, I had to look for a solon, mine didn't do it (at least not yet).  I will probably drop it off soon, I don't have a lot left to fall out.  My long, thick red hair is now very dry & thin and it's time to cut it short.  I'm starting week 28 /48 tonight.

Just wanted to share in case no one has thought of this. --Stacie

Thats a great ideal --wish I had of thought of it when the hair loss began.  Oh well can start saving it now.

I found two great products at a beauty supply store for the dry hair.  It was so dry I could feel it breaking off when brushing or rubbing my hands through it.  I bought  ion leave in hair conditioner which also helps with frizz.  After my hair drys I rub a glossing polish through it, which contains oils and aloe.  Directions call for a small drop but I use over a tablespoon and hair ***** it up.  My hair feels better and also has some shine.

Now if we could figure out to stop the loss.  Hmmmmmmm

I also use the glossing polish.  I've been using a hydrating leave in cream.  I will look for the ion and give it a try.  I had a ton of hair and it drops all over the place.  I am constantly sweeping the bathroom.

I seem to recall someone posting that worked in the food industry.  I didn't think about it then but the hair thing would be the biggest concern not the HCV.

A good cheap way to moisturize treatment hair (cheap too!) is to take olive oil  or coconut oil  -- you can add an essential oil if you want to add scent - and wash you hair and coat it in the oil.  Stick it up in a shower cap and leave it on at least 30 minutes and then wash your hair.  It really smooths down frizzies and makes the hair feel healthier
