What I see is the Hair Booms work just as well, if not better than the "traditional" booms in soaking up the oil. And how did traditional booms get so popular anyway? We have never had an oil "spill" like this! I am now calling it the Gulf vomit! BP refused to use these but my question is WHY aren't the Parish Presidents like Billy Nungesser using these?
It seems people are worried about the Hair Booms buoyancy but, as my nephew pointed out, these could be pulled behind a boat in large nets in the open ocean, or attached to large poles and literally dipped in those parts of the marshes that can't be reached by boat. Driving a boat in these areas in impossible as the boat motors would destroy the wetlands we are trying to rescue. These look like a GREAT option to me!
People, listen up! If you insist on change, you must be willing to make it happen! Write to your local senators, the Whitehouse, EPA or the special committee that has been set up to study this mess! If you are in the affected states contact your LOCAL government folks, like Billy Nungesser. Urge them to use these Hair Booms! Make change happen!
Matter of Trust continues to try to get the attention of someone that can make a decision. Help them out and Save the Hose, Save the Hair and Help Save the Gulf!
Thanks again Hanes! As Hairstylists, Barbers and Professional Groomers, you have the unique opportunity to REALLY make a difference! And don't forget to Save the Hair, Save the Hose, Save the Gulf!
Matter of Trust has been overwhelmed with donations of Hose and Hair to Save the Gulf, so Shears4Hair is stepping up to the plate to take up some of the slack. We are now taking donations of hair; human and pet, and old pantyhose, tights, knee highs and even trouser socks to make Hair Booms to send to the Gulf regions.

Friendly Hair Collection Reminders:
Set aside a designated box (salons usually reuse a box in which shampoo was delivered) RECYCLING!
Line the box with a clean plastic garbage bag.
Ideally, shampoed hair is the best. We don't want to put more chemicals in the Gulf!
Any length of hair is fine, inlcuding clippings from your floor.
Every type of hair is fine (straight, curly, all colors, dyed, permed, straightened...) but only HEAD hair, please!
Sweep in all hair clippings, HAIR ONLY! Please remove all other garbage like gum, metal clips, paper cups, wrappers, etc.
When you are ready to ship or your box is full, please tie the top of the bag or secure with a rubberband or garbage bag tie and tape the box shut. Label your box with a small note that indicates if it is HUMAN or PET hair.
We also need those hosiery items! Please wash any dirty hose, even those with runs, and place in a seperate bag please. They can go in the same box but please put don't put them in the hair bag.
We will set a date for a Boom Making Party when we have enough hose and hair together to keep several volunteers busy. If you chose to do this in your area, it is very easy. You stuff the hosiery with clean hair and tie off the ends. That's it! Ship or take it to the nearest Gulf rescue organization of your choice.
Hair Stylists, Barbers, and Groomers have a unique opportunity to show the world just how much we care and how we can make a difference!
So, Get busy with it! Collect Hosiery and Hair and let's save the Gulf!
By now, I'm sure you have heard about the Gulf Oil Spill Crisis, and if you're like me, you are ANGRY! Rather than just reacting to the situation out of frustration, I am calling all of you wonderful Barbers, Hairstylists, and professional Groomers to ACTION! I also urge Cosmetology Schools and Barber Schools to join in this effort! Believe it or not WE can help in a unique way most citizens can't, so I am calling on you to do so now. Simply, collect the hair clippings from your shop, salon, spa, or school in a clean plastic bag and place in a recycled box. Make sure there is no garbage amongst the hair. I will give you details later on where to send the clippings but for now, start collecting!
"Alabama hairstylist Phil McCrory first stumbled upon the discovery of how well hair absorbs oil spills when he observed that fur on Alaskan otters was fully saturated with oil after the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill. After experiments to see how much oil he could sop up with hair clippings, he invented the hairmat to effectively clean up oil-spilled waters." Thank you to Stylelist.com "Matter of Trust is now raising funds to buy their own needlepunch machines in order to make the oil relief hair supplies at their California-based headquarters. The company says that doing so will also create many jobs and educational training for California citizens."
These Hair Matts have been used to aid in the clean-up of numerous oil spills and have been shown to be VERY effective.
Visit Matter of Trust for more information. Matter of Trust, a non-profit organization, Conceived in 1998, by Lisa Craig Gautier and her husband, Patrice Olivier Gautier collects these human and animal hair clippings and makes them into Hair Matts. These Hair Matts as shown in the above video, soak up the oil but releases the water, cleaning up the environment naturally. It is estimated that a hair salon can collect up to 5 pounds of human hair in one day so get your brooms, bags, and boxes ready for that hair and help the environment today!

Hi All! A brief explanation for why I haven't posted in a while . . . chemotherapy. I think that says it all so moving right along!
I would like to say a HUGE thanks to the December winners! Not only were they really cool about me getting around to notifying them; all three winners were gracious enough to donate their winnings to the poor folks in Haiti. Shears4Hair sent a package along with a local friend from Haiti and the shears and razors were actually used in medical facilities for hair removal.
I want to thank all of you for re-affirming my belief that Hairstylists, Barbers, and Professional Groomers are the BEST people in the world!
Give yourselves a HUGE pat on the back because you ALL deserve it!
