Recycle & Repurpose – Our Way to Give Back
Did you know that 4 tons of hair extensions are thrown away in Sweden every year? These figures are staggering, but instead of seeing waste, we see an opportunity for change – a chance to create something meaningful.
What if we could take this valuable hair and turn it into new wigs? What if we could help
women and children who can’t afford a wig finally get the chance to own one – at a price they can afford?
Here’s how it works:
When a customer decides to remove their extensions, it’s rarely because the hair is
bad. Usually, the attachments are worn out, the customer wants longer hair, or they’re ready for a new color. But the hair itself is still beautiful and perfectly usable! That’s where we step in – we transform this hair into
children’s wigs and shorter wigs for women.
Here’s what we’ll do:
We will send out 100% climate-neutral e-commerce bags to BHBD’s hairdressers. They only need to brush, braid, and place the hair in the bag, then drop it in the mailbox. We cover all postage costs.
