The coolest new way to donate your hair—even if you're just getting a trim
Change your look and clean up the earth.
Enter Green Circle Salons, which helps hairstylists recycle old tips. Salon owners simply ship cut-off strands to the company; Green Circle uses them to create "hair booms"—imagine a stocking stuffed with strands. Because hair can absorb and hold an incredible amount of oil (anyone who's gone a week without shampooing can attest to this!), Green Circle sends out the booms to help sop up oil spills around the globe. Cool, right?
There are over 1,600 participating salons throughout North America; to find one near you, go to greencirclesalons.ca. You can help your chopped-off tresses find new life helping the environment.
