Gulf Spill Hair Boom

On Tuesday, May 4, we shipped out 13 pounds of hair that will be used to help soak up the oil. The effort is run by an organization called Matter of Trust (www.matteroftrust.org), which encourages salons, groomers, wool farmers and individuals to donate hair, fur, wool, clippings and nylons for their “Hair for Oil Spills” program. “We all get it,” their website states. “We shampoo because hair collects oil.” Shown here are Metamorphosis’ Catherine Nesbitt with the box of hair and Cara Apsey in the background.
