Like most in her trade, Dunedin hairdresser Amanda Buckingham spends a lot of time standing and contemplating things, and one day had a revelation – what if she could replace the foil with something more sustainable? After two years of development with the help of the local polytech, she now has a biodegradable product made of recycled industrial waste, which she can wash and reuse.
Customers also like it because it doesn’t scratch and rustle when being used. Buckingham is working to get her ‘One Systema’ product distributed into the international marketplace and hopes to remain streaks ahead of the competition.
