Glasses made out of human hair. Who thinks up this nonsense?
Is cos it will save the polar bears, innit…
Two Royal College of Art graduates have discovered a way to turn human tresses into sustainable eyewear. Not all of us are blessed with 20/20 vision, which means that petroleum-based plastic or energy-intensive wire frames are a necessary evil. Azusa Murakami and Alexander Groves’ aptly named “hair glasses,” however, tap into a readily available and renewable resource: the millions of pounds of hair cuttings that salons across the United Kingdom throw away each year.
But how do you turn flimsy follicles into a durable yet lightweight structure? The answer lies in a plant-based bioresin that acts as a binding agent. No harmful substances are released during production, plus the resulting frames are 100 percent biodegradable when they’re no longer useful.
The natural second stage of this idea is to kill off all bald people – who are obviously no use in the Brave New Eco-Society.

They can still donate curly pubes………..
Aaargh, I don’t even want to think about what glasses like that would look like.
I expect that the mums of Azusa Murakami and Alexander Groves are really proud even if they don’t know why the f*ck they bothered.
“Plant based resin” “Biodegradable”
I’ll bet that a good rain shower would see them falling apart…
I think using human hair will prove to be extremly unsanitary.
Testing
You wouldn’t boast about them at parties, would you?
Yep, its dissolvable raincoat time isn’t it? The main problem with biodegradable stuff is that its…well…biodegradable.
Indeed. I’d steering very clear of this stupidity.
