Happy International Women's Day Our Hair Matters Global Hub Partner today is Kwanghee Kim - she owns her hair salon and also has volunteered for 15yrs. She is interested in reusing hairs on the floor. So, she has made some hairpin and art products with hair. She got to know about felting mats with hair, and wants to participate in recycling resources. She believes this project can give a positive influence in our society.

Matter of Trust Edinburgh and Lothians Hub was founded by Chelsea to develop local solutions to oil spills in the country. Her aim is to make hair mats to combat pollution in cooperation with local crafters such as Made in East Lothian and the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (with which she is an assistant coordinator and marine mammal medic). Other hubs’ agricultural hair felt trials inspired the concept that hair felt could assist seagrass restoration and after reaching out, seawilding trials are being conducted in the west coast of Scotland.
