Would you wear clothes made from human hair? The concept might seem uncanny at first, but if animal hair is commonplace in fashion, is human hair really so different? Especially if human hair can offer up an ethical and eco alternative to animal fibres! Tune in tomorrow for our chat with the founder of Human Material Loop, the company transforming salon hair waste into usable textiles fibres 💡♻️ #SustainableFashion #Innovation #HumanMaterialLoop #Science #Collaboration #Technology #GreenChemistry

We don’t just claim our hair ties are extraordinary - they truly are! Scientifically proven, they are 2-3 times stronger than conventional hair ties.  We put our KOOSHOO Rounds, along with other leading brands and a known plastic-free option, under the microscope in an independent testing lab. Guess what? Our Rounds outperformed the rest, being twice as resilient as petroleum-textile ties and almost three times more durable than our plastic-free competitor. 🙃🥳 Do you want to know why? It’s simple really, it all comes down to the meticulous procedures followed by our fantastic partners in Japan. 🇯🇵 And did we spill the beans that each hair tie is hand-assembled? Yup – good old-fashioned craftsmanship is to thank for the unmatched quality in every hair tie! Once organic cotton and tree rubber have been spun into elastic by our machines, our highly skilled workforce (90% of whom are women) step in. They meticulously glue, wash, and test each hair tie from the comfort of their homes, before packaging them in 100% recycled-content FSC-certified paper. So, when we say our hair ties are 2-3 times stronger, we're not just stirring the pot. It's a fact we wear with pride, a testament to love, hard work, and a whole lot of elbow grease! That means more value for you (less snapping) and more value for our planet (less waste).  Are you ready to welcome the quality of KOOSHOO to your shop?

Polyester might seem like the ultimate wardrobe warrior: wrinkle-resistant, durable, and often budget-friendly. But before you grab that polyester top or leggings, consider this – it might be bad for your skin. Here's why: Breathability Blockade: Polyester traps heat and moisture like a clingy friend, leading to sweaty discomfort, irritation, and even bacterial growth. This is especially problematic during workouts or hot weather. Chemical Irritation: Harsh chemicals used in polyester production can linger in the fabric, causing itching, redness, and even allergic reactions. Sensitive skin? Brace yourself for potential eczema or dermatitis. Acne Alley: Trapped heat and moisture are a recipe for clogged pores and breakouts – not the glow-up you deserve. So, what can you wear instead? Ditch the polyester drama and embrace breathable, skin-friendly alternatives: Natural Warriors: Cotton, linen, and wool are nature's gifts to your skin. They're breathable, comfortable, and non-irritating. Let your skin breathe and thank you later. Modern Marvels: Don't write off synthetics just yet! Bamboo viscose and Tencel use eco-friendly processes to create breathable, soft fabrics that won't harm your skin. Win-win for you and the planet! Minimize the Polyester Mayhem: Natural Fiber Fanatic: Opt for clothing made from natural fibers or blends with synthetics such as hemp, bamboo, tencel, cotton etc. Loose and Breezy: Let your skin breathe in loose-fitting garments, even if they're synthetic. Washing Warrior: Clean your polyester clothes regularly with gentle detergent and warm water. Time Out: Give your skin a break from polyester, especially in hot weather or after workouts. Remember, your skin is your biggest accessory – treat it with respect! Patch test any new fabric, and if you have concerns, consult a dermatologist. Embrace natural fibers, explore eco-friendly alternatives, and be mindful of your polyester intake. Your skin will thank you for it #hemp #hempproducts #hempproducts #bamboo #bambooproducts #tencel #polyester #skincare #skinfriendly #polyesterproblem #landfills #workout #breathable #sweatfree #antimicrobial
