Human hair. Barbers throw the stuff away or it's donated.


What are practical scientific uses for the hair?

Imagine a city where barbers put their hair in a bin which is then sent to be recycled into other materials. What would the most likely products be? Some kind of keratin-plastics?

It's a weird question but surely there's some scientific applications for all this stuff, right? Humans are growing it on their heads for goodness sake, and it cuts right off.

Compost it.
Set it out in the spring for birds to use in nest building (It's cool finding a bird's nest lined with your own hair.).

planted at crime scenes to throw the cops off your trail

Human hair is a great deer repellent for home gardens. Lay out a few clumps around your plants, and the human scent will keep most deer and other varmunts away.

Human hair as been shone to be an excellent source of slow release nigtrogen. It successfully replaced and even outperformed if I remember correctly, synthetic fertilizers marketed for the same effect. In soilless potting mixtures for 2 years. This makes it perfect for soil admendments for perennials. I'm sure you could probably use it as an amendment in fungiculture. It's would be valuable in so many more ways if agroecology got some r&d

Wouldn't work very well. There's no DNA in cut hair, DNA from hair comes from the root.

Not exactly sure what, but I know it has pretty high tensile strength, about half that of steel.
