We Need Your Hair

by Alpha Dog on June 8, 2010

If you were thinking about cutting your hair for the summer there is no better time than now (I’m thinking bald is beautiful). We all feel helpless as oil spews into the Gulf of Mexico with little relief in sight, but there is something you can do; send us your hair (well, hopefully you will drop it off).

Hair is an excellent absorber of oil and there is a company (Matter of Trust) that is making booms from human and dog hair to be used in the gulf to help clean up the oil spill. Pet safari is doing their part by collecting many needed products; used nylon hose, hair, fur, fleece, and wool. These products soak up oil better than manmade synthetic booms that are currently being used. These natural booms are made out of products that we typically throw away, plus they are better on the environment—and best of all, they are a renewable and sustainable resource. Check out this short video.

Be sure to place hair in a sealable plastic bag so it can be easily transported. If you know of other hair salons or grooming salons that would like to help with the cleanup effort, please contact us.

Thank you for your time and effort. We can make a
difference if we work together.
