  • What irrates me about this video is how misleading it is: sorbent boom is not made for recovery, it is made for containment. The surface area is less, and it has a much lower absorption rate specifcally so that it will not "soak up" all the oil and soit will remain floating...A demo showing hair verses a synthetic menas actually designed for recovery (sorbent pad or roll maybe? Particulate?) would be a much more accurate demonstration...and a much less misleading video.

  • @booniecat7 This is BP sorbent boom, I checked on purpose. It's a good thing these BP's aren't for containment, would have been far more useless. Oil was sloshing under and over the boom far too easily for it to have any containment value. Containment booms have "skirts" that hang down 18 inches or so. And don't worry too much about nonprofits misleading the public about the benefits of synthetic oil based BP products. BP isn't a poor misunderstood company that needs your sympathy.

  • @booniecat7 -.-

  • wats up with the music?

  • even i wanted to donate my hair...and i'm from germany. the problem is, that those who caused the problem (BP) are not those who suffer from it (eco-system, people who live there). making people responsible for something will not solve the problem. solidarity is the key, people!

  • I donated my hair! Feels good to know that i can tribute in some way other then just the dawn soap. Glad i can help with cleaning up the oil a little bit :)

  • "Why donate if I don't cause?"

    Fuck that, it is still your planet you selfish ignorant fools.

  • pues a raparnos todos no creen???, mejor andar pelones que llenos de petroleo jajajaja, ojala que toda la gente donara su cabello asi en poco tiempo se limpiaria toda el area afectada, y por cierto para hacer sus pruebas hubieran usado agua de lluvia no agua potable no manchen jajajaja, ven que de por si no hay jajajaja, pero en fin. "A RAPARSE SEÑORAS Y SEÑORES" JEJEJE YO YA ME RAPE solo que a donde llevo mi cabellera?????? estoy en el d.f.

  • @betorcmn a admira: soloadmira. com. mx/index.php/salvemos-el-golfo

  • Muy bueno

  • No manches que bueno que se pueda hacer eso... a pesar de las pend#$&/(& de otros se pueda resolver con el ingenio

  • That is AMAZING!!!!!!

  • even my six year old can see the difference and how much better the orange one is without being told

    and for you idiots who say "why donate if you do not cause?" for the same reason that the U.S. goes to bat for everyone else's war and poverty and sickness in other countries, you selfish bastards!

  • dios bendiga ala persona que en ves de estar criticando busco alternativas y encontraron esta tam buena quien es el autor???

  • I cannot understand half these comments haha! :) I am hopefully going to be able to donate some hair! I am getting a haircut in a few days so hopefully i can send tht and whatever else I can get at the salon!

  • @46JacobyGirl

    dont worry my friend!

    JUST IS THE BARRIER LINGUISTIC : )) THE separates us!

    THEY SAID WHY DONATE IF I DO NOT CAUSE!

    BUT "ADAVILA78" SAY THT "ODISEO2263" IS A IGNORANTE BECAUSE HE DON UNDERSTAND THT THIS ITS FOR SAVE OUR PLANET!

    Regards. XD!

  • y la chica que hace el experimento? deberia pelarse el cabello y poner el ejemplo!!!

  • Cool video and awesome song to go with it :)

  • Esta noticia me parece estupenda, quien lo hubiera pensado, que el cabello humano podría absorber el petróleo!!!

  • no se trata de ver quien tuvo la culpa ...si no de solucionar el problema y si nosotros podemos ayudar a solucionarlo porque no? al fin y al cabo la ayuda no es solo "para los americanos" como alguien dice es para ayudar la fauna marina y tambien a todo aquel que vive del mar. no hay que ser tan despectivo y egoista!

  • FANTASTIC! we collect all the hair in the world then America, Asia, Africa, Oceania and Europe to determine if enough for all the oil spilled and stop only a few hours ago....get ready for the end of this age!

  • Claro weon, tendran que cortar el pelo (pelar) a todo America; para poder absorver TODO EL PETROLEO DERRAMADO que dejo de fluir hace algunos dias, estoy muy amargo... LA SOLUCION AL PROBLEMA???, ello es como darle una aspirina a alguien que condenaron a morir, DEJEN DE SACARLE LA MADRE A LA TIERRA CARAJO!!! ESO ES LO QUE DEBEN DE HACER, malditos ambiciosos/superlucros y ahora con las ONGs amarillas de socios y manipuladores, la que edita este video ahora como muy bien sugiere Avattha

  • los gringos, los gringos y los gringos, si está claro que es en el país de los gringos dónde ocurrió esto y ahora los latinoamericanos dicen aquí que quieren vender su pelo, que nada es gratis ya para los américanos???

    bien, estoy de acuerdo entonces...

    Pero qué hay con la población latinoamericana que reside en ese país? a caso no han pensado que no sólo gringos viven en Estados Unidos?

  • A donde debo donar?

  • I guess this demonstrates the ability to absorb, but the big question is will it react the same in the environment with natural unrefined oil?

  • Arrrgggg!! Estúpida Humanidad!! Estamos como estamos porque no nos merecemos como especie vivir en este planeta y por eso lo devastamos. Venderles el cabello dice, porque no se merecen nuestra ayuda :/ Y quien dijo que era para ellos la ayuda? Es para la fauna y flora que está siendo dañada y para evitar que hayan más victimas de este desastre ocasionado por la dependencia QUE TENEMOS TODOS al bendito petróleo. La organización que lo está pidiendo es ecologista, no política! Qué Ignorancia!

  • @Avattha claro que es para la fauna y flora, pero los pendejos ambiciosos que se arriesgaron a perforar en medio del mar también deben pagar nuestro cabello, que se cagan en dinero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tienen más dinero que qué!

  • @dontwannasayaname oye, yo te apoyo, es cierto que la flora y la fauna es la que mas sufre en estas situaciones, pero esos pendejos hijos de puta es lo menos que podrian hacer, comprarnos el cabello, que no mamen, se pudren de dinero y no pueden hacer eso, por favor¡¡¡¡¡

  • I would like to know if it has the same effect with oil. I mean, with the real oil that was spilt in the Gulf. My concern is because motor oil is one of its sub-products and may not have the same effect.

  • hey k onda, esa política ia está en México???

    alguien sabe sobre algún centro de acopio o algo por el estiloo??

    hey wath's up, is that going on in Mexico already?

    does anybody knows about an organization for collect the hair or something??

  • go earth go !!!!!!!!! we are with you :)

  • angelzacarias, entonces sugieres que no se haga nada, al fin no se va a solucionar, que tarado eres, mejor no opines, bien dicen mucho ayuda el que no estorba,. quedate con tus comentarios,

  • yeah I don't like the music either

  • Yeah, the music it´s so ridiculous... it sounds like i´m going to see a lot of girl dancing on the forest, full of marihuana... you could use a more contemporaneous or cool music, not that shit...

  • @luisenriquedg it has nothing to do with the music but with the oil in the see!!!!!!! it´s so ridiculous to critizice the music, look at the message!. And i dont think about marihuana and so on, ´cause i don´t have prejudgements! the shit ist inside yourself! i don´t have that shit inside of me, so i just heard celtic music at the video, and i didnt even thaought about dancing girls or marihuana. "The world is the mirror from you Mind"!!!!!

  • @dontwannasayaname sorry if I mention s***, it was not very polite... I know it´s about oil, I work for some enviromental organizations and it´s an issue that concerns me ..... but.... technically, when you make a video, it´s better if you try to make it more efective, coherent... and just like an opinion, without music works better, it´s more direct. I´m studied graphic design and comunication, and I say that by experience...

  • q mamadaaa!!

    estan bn pendejos si creen q con eso se soluciona el problemaa

    esto fue un daño irreparable al medio ambiente!!

    como siempre los gringos cagando todoo

    ademas el agua no kedara = hagan lo k hagan

    an alterado la vida acuifera y entornos

    que pagen por todo es lo menos q pueden hacer :s

  • @angelzacarias Tu respuesta tampoco soluciona nada. Si pagan, que van a hacer con el dinero? reponer el agua del oceano? pagarle a los peces por daños a terceros? Tal vez el agua no queda igual, pero al menos hacen algo...

  • @angelzacarias obviamente no se va a solucionar el problema 100%, eso todos lo sabemos, pero si en nuestras manos está hacer algo para mejorar las condiciones del mar, pues hagámoslo y no estemos nada más hablando tonterías.

  • @angelzacarias tienes razón, pero no seas pesimista hermano, tenemos que tratar de hacer lo mejor posible, de la malo tratar de sacar lo mejor, no contagies malas energías, eso no nos ayuda, más bien tenemos que tratar de ser optimistas y buscar, tal vez no soluciones, pero sí cosas de ayuden en algo. Hay que ser constructivos! date cuenta de esto chico, y cambia la actitud, todos tenemos que cambiar de actitud. está bien al principio enojarse y reclamar, pero no quedarse en eso sino actuar.

  • @angelzacarias te doy la razón, a mi también me enoja mucho igual que a ti, pero más útil es invetir ese tiempo y esas energías, canalizarlas y tranformarlas en energías positivas, la ira por la injusticia tranformarla en valor y coraje para ayudar. eso es más útil para los pobres animalitos y plantas que están sufriendo por culpa de la gente. Además, lamentablemente todos tenemos culpa, unos más y otros menos, pero todos usamos energías provenientes del petróleo, hasta tú...

  • Malditos Americanos (NO conocen ni la geografía, piensan que la Doctrina Monroe" les da el poder sobre todo el continente) Que se las arreglen como puedan. A America Latina solo le piden ayuda de a gratis ( se debe de vender nuestro cabello, para que ellos solucionen su problema) chantageando que es por el planeta pero el que bien conoce la historia sabe que no merecen nuestra ayuda de a gratis como lo piden. YO LES VENDO MI CABELLO COMO ELLOS NOS VENDEN SU AYUDA en el FMI Y BANCO MUNDIAL!!!

  • Bueno chico en parte es verdad pero estoy segura que hay gente comop nosotros que siendo americanos tiene consciencia y quisieran mejorar las cosas pero su gobierno supuesta mente "demócrata" se los Prohíbe, si como ya dijiste el que sabe de historia puede decir y opinar y que desgraciadamente el pueblo EEUU al igual que los latinos son discriminados y hasta pagan con la muerte y hacen valer sus derechos obvio que no sale en la tele Xq a ellos no les conviene!! su supuesto Gobierno

    @odiseo2263

  • @odiseo2263 vale pero los americanos nos jodieron a nosotros tus hermanos latinos mexicanos . que la mancha de petroleo esta en mares mexicanos y el cabello que se recolecta en mexico se utiliza para limpiar los oceanos de mexico...............

  • @odiseo2263 ahí sí tienes razón, los causantes de la desgracia deben pagarnos por nuestro cabello, no pueden venir a hacerse los "pobrecillos" y decir "por favor ayuden!" sino ser adultos responsables y PAGAR las consecuencias, o sea pagar hasta por cada uno de nuestros cabellos.

  • @odiseo2263 pero tampoco digas "que se las arreglen como pueden", pues recuerda que ese medioambiente que está en juego y siendo destruido, nos pertenece a todos, y los que sufren son los animales, entonces tenemos que arreglarles a los animales, no es cuestión de que los gringos brutos se las arreglen, bueno fuera si el problma fuera solo de ellos, pero lamentablemente como siempre no es así, la cagada que hacen la sufren siempre otros, y por misericordia a estos inocentes

  • @odiseo2263 a estos inocentes que sufren, hay que ser generosos. Aunque los gringos no se lo merezcan. Eso sí, no estaría nada mal, si se organiza poli´ticamente una donación de cabello PERO A CAMBIO DE DINERO PARA NUESTROS PAÌSES.

  • @odiseo2263 entonces no cooperes ni te quejes porque el problema no es sólo de los gringos, es mundial, o no se te ha ocurrido que los mares a pesar de todo son del planeta entero y están unidos en uno sólo?? bendita ignorancia...

  • @odiseo2263 AAy NO MAMES!, vender el cabello...los acusas de ignorantes y tu nI sABES EN DONDE ESTAS parado!!! el derrame es en el OCEANO y si te quieres poner de exigente, se dio en el golda de mexico, toda la mierda nos va a tocar a nosotros imbecil, Al FIN sale una ayuda, algo que podemos hacer y tu te pones a lloriquear por dinero NO MAMES WEY DESPIERTA

  • el mar tiene millones de veces mas agua que una pinche tina de plastico

  • que pendejada como van a limpiar eso con el cabello de todo el mundo mejor ya no hagan mas mierda petrolera

  • also it can use a PRP its an invention of NASA and absorb all the oil spilled in the ocean and its biodegradable (Y)

  • now you can shampoo that hair boom, and go again! In fact, what if we used Shampoo on the spills?! :O

  • And, what do you do with the hair with oil boom after??

  • good!!! is perfect!!!

  • GET SOME MO FUKIN GOVERNMENT FUNDING AND BECOME A HER00000000000000 OF A NATION IN TURMOIL LOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It may sit lower but wouldn't that mean its easier for the oil to go over the boom. Also I hoped you disposed of that oil appropriately the hypocrites.

    Also crude isn't motor oil.

  • I like the hair boom better, it seems more resourceful, as well as appears to hold the oil in better.

    But if you are going to test the two, shouldn't the booms be the same size. The hair boom sits lower in water maybe partially because it is longer and lower than the conventional one, it has more surface space.

    The music needs to go though-agreed!

  • I'm glad that this is being done, but the music is pretty inappropiate and annoying indeed.

  • wtf irish music

  • para qual endereço devo mandar os cabelos??quero ajudar.

  • Hm.

     cotton booms = less effective Hair booms = more effective... Maybe south park might of had a good Idea, lul.

  • ya the music was stupid the point was made...

  • this is awesome. Def. going to get my next haircut soon and telling my dresser that this is an awesome organization.

  • what's with the stupid music? It's annoying, loud and worthless.

  • that looks tap water, to clear to be from the guld

  • when contacting the HAZ MAT people what is their excuse for NOT accepting the hair/fur booms?? It's natural and biodegradable! I don't see the problem it seems to be a win win to me!! oh and I would rather hear the conversation than the music!!!

  • okay we get the idea, stop using demonstrations and donate them already!!!

  • Song is damn irritating lol

  • Why do this video, and then play a ridiculous song? I couldn't even finish the video. You're trying to do some smart and for a great cause. Now you just look like a stinky hippie, and nobody will take you seriously.

  • @thewineoo a stinky lord of the rings hippie lmao

  • @thewineoo why??? everyone has different musictastes! it has nothing to do if you like lady gaga or something else! you pepole have so many prejudges!

  • @thewineoo dont´be ridiculous, you should concentrate about the things and not about the music! it is so awfull to see, that every people are bitter and haters!

  • Cool! The oil actually chases the hair ! I'm signing up!!

  • Maybe we should all make this a trending topic on google/yahoo (BP refusing donated hair mats) Get this on AC/Maddow etc? This way more people in the Gulf Coast area will know about this and be able to get a hold of hair booms/mats?

  • Comment removed

  • The music ruins this.. Why would you put this stupid song over this?

  • I own a pet grooming salon and we signed up to donate our hair! We also put up signs asking customers to donate nylon to us to send in....So happy we can do something to help!!!

  • Thanks for your efforts! I wish I could help somehow!! It's really a good video but I almost couldn't watch with the music. Commentary would have been so much better.

  • @Bye2Love You can help. Donate your hair or nylon. :)

  • this also works so well because hair doesnt absorb water, only the oil! It is why during WWII blankets and rope and such were made out of hair cut from the Jewish Prisoners... the other boom looks to have retained water as well, causing it to have less room for oil.  this is awesome.

  • So is BP still not accepting hair boom?  Is any other organization deploying boom? Thanks.

  • @TwiPrime BP is RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CLEN UP NOT US...IDEA sharing is great- BUY BP SHOULD PAY FOR ALL OF IT

  • @kczelusniak I'm all for them cleaning up their own poo, but I think they will skimp in any way they can. If they're not accepting the boom (is that confirmed? that was my question.) maybe it's because a concerted effort among people who care and will sacrifice exposes them as the opposite of that.

  • So BP has refused to use this method for various ridiculous reasons.

    Let the world know that natural hair is apparently more dangerous to have as ocean debris than chemical dispersants.

  • Thanks to the Matter of Trust people, I was able to ship a box full of old pantyhose to Ft. Walton Beach, instead of throw them in the trash.

    And while they're still trying to get BP's cooperation to deploy the hair booms, the rest of us can go to .seizebp.org . 

  • @telwitcha55 ...THANK YOU So much for your donation!!! I am one of the many volunteers who are helping to make the Hair Boom over to FWB ...I am not with Matter of Trust but am a CERT team member so I am volunteering all my spare time to help them at Matter of Trust

  • @facesofthemissing Thank you for being a dedicated Hair Boomer. It's going to take more than a village, and quite a few years, to nurse this Gulf "child" back to health. I can't imagine being on the front lines, especially onshore, since I can barely bring myself to watch any of the gusher video, or animal photos.

    And for any of us who have time for a good ole BP protest rally, check out upcoming events at Seize BP.org.

  • We must be united! The hairdressing salons Would have to support this cause

    @telwitcha55

  • Brush your dogs coat out too, it's shedding season with the warm months ahead and this is a great supply of extra hair.

    Boycott Bp!!!

  • @xdaysx because most people can give hair, not everyone can give hay.

  • straw can also be used to mop up the oil spills

  • straw can also be used to mop up the oil spills

  • I live in Boise Idaho. When I was a kid I lived in Ft. Walton Beach. I have beautiful memories of those white sandy beaches. I own a hair salon and have been collecting hair, it is being shipped to Ft. Walton Beach. Idaho is thinking about you

    and thanks to all the volunteers.

  • Huh..HAIRY !

  • Comment removed

  • I think the music is genius for this video.

  • I am a hair salon owner and stylest in destin fl .I also volunter with the people in Ft Walton Beach Fl.

    I have been collecting hair from the great people in st augustine Fl and bring it here to destin to help. I just have one thing to say is to everyone that has doubted. this project. Open your eyes and see what can be done with a little effort. Those of us that live and work on tha coast just want something that works and this is the simple solution to a huge problem.

  • I volunteer with the wonderful folks in Fort Walton Beach FL. If you live in that area, come on down! So fulfilling because we know it works. And eventually will be needed. As for the video, proof-positive, you doubters. Esp BP. Oh - get rid of the music.

  • visit the Matter of Trust site and see the stock piles, the dates they were made

    CLANCY, LOWER THESE BOOMS

  • I agree the music is counter productive

  • @sunsrize

    Agreed. A running commentary as the oil soaks up would fit perfectly there. The music is just awful for the message you're trying to get out.

  • This video would be more effective without the music.

  • @patti10dc Why would it be more effective? I believe that nothing should be more effective than the vissible results. Let's go and get haircuts! lol

  • @patti10dc why??? everyone has different musictastes! it has nothing to do if you like lady gaga or something else!

  • WOW it really works

  • I'll shave my head for the cause.

  • @ElConquistador24 My hair is down to my waist, I would shave my head for the cause!

  • I am so proud of being part of this effort.!

  • Are they being used in the actual clean up or not?

  • I agree that the music is nice and also that I would like to hear better what they are saying. Also the first test does use different shapes but the second does not.

    The only reason I think of why BP is interested in using synth over hair is that the synth one is made of OIL. Yes folks plastic is made of oil - all of it! So BP makes money from selling stuff that cleans up BP's mess. Haliburton probably sells it. Thats my guess.

  • @landfillbil That is one of the many reasons. Did you also know that BP and the company that produce the dispersments their using having many ties...one example is a coresponding board member?

  • The point shouldn't be which boom absorbs better. It's that the hair booms work at least as well as conventional materials. There are literally warehouses of hair boom ready to go along the Gulf Coast. The Matter of Trust has been offering them to BP and local Parishes for free. Some of the Parishes are interested but BP isn't willing to try them (at this writing). The spill is so big; let's use everything we've got. Please.

  • After a about 10mins the Hair boom will sink make a worse situation even worse. as long as you keep your eye on the boom it might be fine.

  • @Adderall1 I guess you missed the part of the video that was 5 hours later and the hair was still afloat.

  • See the video before this one showing the collection system, with the flotations. There are 20 warehouses of hair booms waiting for weeks, all free.

    The prevent booms were up, the weather picked up and the oil all went right over the PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, instead of holding the oil.

    Instead of using something harmless and effective, the spray has made the wall of death down there. Now the need is floaters, sinkers and in between.

  • I'm kinda confused... Boom is for preventing oil from moving past a point, and at the same time to move the oil to a location to collect it. They already use things like hair and hay for collection purposes, but I don't think they call them booms. Is this video suggesting they replace the booms that are acting like boundrys or walls with hair? We already don't have enough boom to properly contain the spill, upping the cost isn't a solution. If they mean for collection, its already used.

  • @StealthGhost I think these booms not only contain it but remove it

  • I'd really like to hear them speaking and less music. Also, are they using Sea water or tap? 

  • @debutube56

    I am an independent tester in Michigan...

    Doesn't make a difference, relatives in Connecticut and I have personally tired this with their and my Siberian Huskies hair and panty hose

    It sucks up used motor oil, and the new synthetic brands extremely fast!

    Other countries have been using this method for similar issues for centuries...

  • @debutube56 subtitles...

    

  • @TheDragon2k um wanted to see and hear the video, dont want to read "subtitles"

  • Too bad the hair booms have been sinking.

  • I had 9" of my locks cut off and got my hairdresser to start collecting all of his "cuttings". The locks are in the mail. For the first time in my life, I feel good about sporting short hair. It's been long for decades.

  • So that's what happened to Willie Nelson!!!!!!!

  • All your hair now belongs to BP. Report to your nearest county judicial center for immedient full body dehairing. And bring your pets, we need all the hair we can get. Extreme sunnis... afraid we are gonna have to have them beards too.

  • well. first of all. she was moving them biasly. she was moving the hair one far more often. and with better strokes. also. the bp boom is shorter in length and therefore has less active soaking surface. im sure the hair one is bettter. but bullshit touchhy feely bias videos like that deserve no credit.

  • @Wyndstarthedruid The difference in length is the actual difference... they didnt make longer hair booms just for the video. That is the actual size of BOTH! and i dont think the stokes matter at all... the hair boom clearly soaked up more oil!

  • I really don't understand why BP is not using this= AMAZING!!

  • thanks lisa very self evident

  • Thanks Lisa! This video says it all!

  • Is this the same commercial boom that BP is using?

  • Great work everyone! The world owes you a great big thank you!!

  • Yeeeees Grassroots wins!  Hallelujah. This is amazing.

  • canadpol, if the so-called experts are making the call, why wouldn't they use the hair/fleece boom INSIDE the traditional ones? Seems like that would take advantage of what both have to offer: contain and clean up the mess.

    As far as the music goes, I'm pretty sure you have the capability to mute your sound...there's a reason why that's a standard feature on computers.

  • thank you so much for his vid!! so stoked to have something to point out to the discouragers!!

  • Posting on Facebook! :)

  • Thanks. Some naysayers will be seeing this video shortly. ;]

  • So... what I am hearing is that the hair is ineffective because it ABSORBS the oil. What kind of bull is that? Don't we WANT the oil absorbed? How is just containing it solving the BIG problem? Is it because you can't suck it up later and sell it to us as fuel? I will never use BP again. Just one voice...

  • Very interesting to see exactly how this works, and how much good people are really doing! Our pet grooming salon has been saving up every little tuft to send down, and it's a good feeling knowing that it's going to good use. This whole situation is such a disaster; it's great that so many people are stepping up to help! :}

  • Rather than talk to BP, talk to the Parish Presidents. BP is looking for a one size fits all solution instead of looking ad different solutions for differtent situaitons. They should be trying everything, not one thing at a time.

  • And by the way, canadpol, who cares what kind of music they use for the video? Isn't that a somewhat "RACIST" remark? Since it's so popular to do so, I take offense at your comments. My ancestors are Scots-Irish. I kind of LIKE the music! If you don't have any better ideas than Matter of Trust, MY suggestion is that you pipe down. And that can be any kind of pipes you like. Maybe some BAGPIPES?? lol

  • canadpol, Don't be a jerk. What's wrong with using BOTH kinds of boom? One to ABSORB the oil and get it OUT of there, and the other to prevent it from going any further. It's FREE, so what's the problem? Or maybe THAT is the problem...somebody's not making tons of money off of it? They need to get a clue and get BUSY and quit making excuses and laying blame.

    It's time to SHUT UP AND WORK.

  • We got an email from BP saying the booms weren't working and to stop sending them. I know people that had hair ready to send. Is this true, have you stopped collecting?

  • The reason the hair booms are no good, as explained by the "experts" is that the hair gets watterlogged and sits lower in the water.
