  • why hair adsorbs the oil?? .. what are the properties that made hair to adsorb??

  • I wonder who came up with the idea of using hair...

  • @avaloscesar They are doing that ...

  • Try to do that in the sea instead, with thousands and thousands of oil barrels. Get real, we are failing to clean the Gulf.

  • DONATE HAIR HERE:

    matteroftrust. org

    They use recycled leg nylon stockings and have volunteers stuff them with hair. Any clean human head hair, pet and animal fur, wool, feathers, or fleece is accepted.

    They are currently full, and are going to use their current supply to make 20 miles of hair boom.

    Encourage your local salon to take part! Or if you're willing, ship it for them!

  • does it sink if you leave it in too long?

  • @ClemyNX Hair actually picks up oil. Hair adsorbs oil molecules, leaving water behind. I can tell you from personal experience that the hair is what is picking up the oil from water.

  • The first hair grouping would have collected all the oil if it was refined oil (like in spills). The oil she was using was "used motoroil" so there will be a lot of impurities naturally meaning there would be more hair needed to absorb the thicker oil. Thank you for the Demo.

  • Fantastic!
