human hair = plant food?

Recent studies have shown that plants use human hair as a fertilizer. If combined with compost, it could be used as a nutrient source for plants. Hair waste, combined with other sources, could be a new source of fertilizer! We could use hair and compost together and plant it in the ground to grow flowers. Scientists are continuing to study this theory.

I think that it is very cool that you could use hair waste as a fertilizer! That also helps save money by using hair instead of buying special fertilizers. It is also way easier. Scientists need to keep studying the theory. If hair can be used, everyone can fertilize easily and help the world! :)
