Whether you rock a bob, an Afro, a perm or a Justin Bieber, your hair can be used to help clean up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

We didn’t believe it at first, but this story and video from the LA Times shows how it works. So, if you’re set for a trim in the next few days, ask your barber to bag those clippings and send them to Matter of Trust.
