Your Hair cut Can Help Clean Up the Gulf Oil Spill.

A huge International Natural Fiber Recycling response is currently taking place to help get hair boom to the Gulf Coast. Matter of Trust is collaborating with thousands of salons throughout the US and abroad, that donate their hair clippings to soak up oil spills. Last year over 2,600 oil spills occurred in the world. They weren’t all high-profile, but most had an impact on the environment. Phil McCrory, a hair stylist from Alabama, first discovered how hair could help. He was shampooing an oily head of hair while watching TV coverage on the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. He noticed the fur on the Alaskan otters completely soaked with oil and it just occurred to him. “We shampoo because hair collects oil.” He began testing how much petroleum oil he could collect with the hair clipping from the floor of his salon.   Now salons everywhere can join this important  project. For more information on how to contribute visit  http://www.matteroftrust.org/
