April 25 at 8:14 PMOne of my eco challenges is to go plastic free, so I took it a step further to include the hair extensions I use for my braids. So far this month I have styled just my hair without extension. Most extension brands are made from plastics, and get transported from abroad, then after use cannot be recycled so end up in landfil.
