CLEAN UP THE GULF & clean up your look Matter Of Trust uses hair clippings to soak up oil from oil spills. Come in for a cut and we’ll send them your hair.
Help is urgently needed for the Gulf Coast and this is an easy way for YOU to make a difference for wildlife, coastal communities and water quality.
Matter of Trust is a nonprofit organization calling on salons to send in hair clippings for their Hair Mat Oil Spill Program. The organization recycles hair clippings into hair mats and booms that are used to soak up oil and contain oil spills. There is no greater need for these mats than now and Matter of Trust currently has 13 locations where hair can be sent for the Gulf oil spill response.
