Mineral paper helping the environment

A Dunedin hairdresser was looking for a way to improve the way she dyes her clients hair. She has created a replacement for traditional foils with the use of a more environmentally friendly, easier to use mineral paper. The paper is made from industrial waste, that becomes wet giving it the ability to protect hair that is being colored. Due to this it will lead to less time spent coloring the hair. The paper can also be washed and reused.

Although the mineral paper is in the beginning stages of development, there is reason to believe that this new paper could become the international standard at salons. Ms. Buckingham, the Dunedin hairdresser, states that she has been in contact with distributors and wholesalers around the world which could lead to a major change in the industry. In fact, in the sixteen months that she has been using her new mineral paper, she has found that customers actually prefer it. Ms. Buckingham believes that she won't only be making profit, but it'll have a huge positive impact on the environment.
