La Rousse Salon & Spa has been my favorite salon in Oxford. On my last visit to La Rousse, my stylist, Debbie, told me that La Rousse is collecting all of the leftover hair that ends up on the floor at the salon and sending it to the coast. They've collected big trash bags full of hair - and this hair will be put inside silk stockings that will float along the coastline and absorb oil. Apparently the hair really soaks up the oil - I hope this will help attract the oil, and keep it away from other animals.
It's so important to keep these efforts moving! Support local businesses and groups who are collecting products to help clean up the Gulf. The University of Mississippi had a collection last week for stockings and rubber gloves. One thing to consider when purchasing these badly needed products: purchase them FROM small businesses. Let's keep everyone above water by saving the Gulf with products sold at local, small businesses. For instance, you can get 10 pairs of rubber gloves (the ones used for dishwashing are preferred to the medical kind) at Big Star in Oxford for less than $15.
