Research on Recycle Design and Expression Methods of Hair

A haircut, one of the ways to express one’s beauty, generates waste, which is hair. Hair is classified as domestic waste and buried, incinerated, or dumped in the sea in that order. Hair waste is generated less than other types of waste, but its quantity has continuously increased. The research studied meanings of recycled hair in modern art and modern fashion, analyzed expression methods of the design works expressed with recycled hair, and made accessories by collecting photo data from websites, newspapers, hair magazines, graduation projects of the beauty universities, and exhibitions both home and abroad, and by recycling hair waste.
