Title : Be creative in solving problem!

Usually, hair is regards as disgusting waste when it was cut from the
head. But seldom we heard, people use the hair waste for something good
because it is kind of disgusting to common people. This team proved
otherwise! They saw a problem from different perspective and creatively
come out with amazing solution.

Turn Waste to Wealth!

When their moms do cleaning in the kitchen, they realized that the normal
sponge used is not too effective to clean the oil dirt. Some of the sponge
even made from synthetic fibers which are made from petrochemical
substances that can harm the environment. Starting from that, they made
their research and found out the ability of hairs to adsorb oils and can be
used to replace the normal sponge as cleaning tools.

There is always a solution to a problem

There was a problem of using hairs as cleaning tools . It may look


disgusting and not hygienic especially when using other peoples hair. But
their experiments found that a layer called as cuticle is the main
component of the hair that actually efficiently adsorb oils but not the
water. With the characteristic, they realized it could be the best way in
cleaning oils spills that mixed with water. They think and got a great idea
to actually extract the cuticle from the hair instead of using the hair itself.
The cuticle can be utilized with other materials to actually working as the
hair is. It will be more hygienic and preferable in product usage.

These are some example of young researchers who are really concern
about what happened around them and try to figure out on how to
improve the condition. These girls concerned about the cleaning process
in the kitchen and creatively thinking of such innovation to help solving
the problem. We need to be creative and always thinking of a better
solution to whatever problem we saw in the world. Therefore, global
happiness could be achieved for all of us.
