Hi, recently a friend and I have gotten into papercrete and have been quite interested in its potential as well as using other paper aggregates with starch glues etc.
A local hair salon was willing to give us their hair scraps, and though I know it sounds disgusting, we have found that the tensile strength of the hair is acting as a great aggregate.
Apparently this was a common strategy in plastering using horse hair?
Anyhoo, just thought I would spit that out in case it interests anyone. We have not performed proper studies which would allow me to give you some sort of data or performance analysis. So far we have only poured a couple stool seats.
