Cy Zorbigo, the founder, explained his youthful frustration that led to the creation of QuickCuts: “I hated getting a haircut as a child… Later at college I wanted a quick and simple cut with no fuss, short in the back and sides, a little less on top, and cheap, cheap, cheap – how can an odd- jobbing 20-year old afford fancy hair salons?”
Jobless with a degree in business, and without any training in hair styling, Cy started cutting hair door-to-door in his impoverished neighbourhood for one tenth what the shops were charging. (...) Exercise: Innovation and supportive polices - 4 cases

Here's How You Can Make Your Own DIY, Zero-Waste Sanitizer
UNICEF Armenia/2020/Margaryan
Switch your bottles for bars
Enrich your shower routine by switching from bottled products to more traditional bars of soap!
Sustainable hair care companies have begun to produce shampoo, conditioner, and shower gels all in bar form. It is important to be conscious of how much waste we contribute; if you wash your hair three or four times a week, we're guessing that's around once a month.

HUMAN RIGHTS SITUATION IN PALESTINE AND OTHER OCCUPIED ARAB TERRITORIES : WRITTEN STATEMENT / SUBMITTED BY THE KHIAM REHABILITATION CENTER FOR VICTIMS OF TORTURE
The activist “Amjad Abo Assab” says that the child’s
of AlQods suffering is not limited only in arresting him, but he also suffers from psychological crises in a jail far from
his parents’ care, so he suffers from involuntary wetting, hair fail, isolation, and others.
(...) He ensures that after release, Al-Qods arrested children’s care, attitudes, and thinking differ, so some of them become
robbers and others drug addict, while some of them suffer from psychological disorders.
2- House arrest residence “Grounding at home”:
According to the occupation, the beautiful and calm home may change into a jail, so the tender parents and siblings
involuntary change into jailers, the matter that leads to disequilibrium of the family that lacks any stability. (...) Their arrest conditions cause for them serious
psychological crises as involuntary wetting and hair fall.
The occupation used this policy in the first half of 2013 against more than 40 children and women from Al-Qods only.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT ON THE ENJOYMENT OF HUMAN RIGHTS BY PERSONS WITH ALBINISM : NOTE / BY THE SECRETARIAT
The most common and visible type is
oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), which affects the skin, the hair and the eyes. Within this
type, there are subtypes, which reflect varying degrees of melanin pigment deficiency in an
individual. (...) In OCA1, there is little or no production of melanin
and it is often characterized by white hair and opaque or transparent irises. In the more
prevalent, particularly in African countries, OCA2, some melanin is produced and it is
characterized by yellow-blonde or sandy-coloured hair and grey to light brown irises. (...) The appearance that ensues in albinism, in particular the lack of melanin in the skin,
eyes and hair, exposes tens of thousands of persons to stigma and discrimination across the
world.
