Five ways to reuse human hair
Yes, you read that right. Though it's not common to have huge amounts of hair on hand unless you clean a hair salon, cut it yourself, or own a lot of pets, you might have more hanging around than you think! Here are five ways to reuse it:
- Garden. Human hair as well as pet hair sucked up on your vacuum cleaner make a great addition to your compost pile.
- Sewing. Use hair to stuff pin cushions. The natural oils will keep the pins from rusting.
- Snail repellent. Human and animal hair can be used to deter snails from your garden vegetables. Just sprinkle around the plants.
- Oil spills. You can donate it to Matter of Trust to be woven into mats which can soak up oil spills.
- Crafts. Spin it into yarn and knit a scarf. I'm getting the willies just thinking about it.
