It’s super easy to take part in our Hair Recycling Scheme. Simply grab your human hair extensions (any brand works!), neatly package them up, and secure the top to make it a breeze for our team to process. You can do this or your stylist. Here’s what to do next:

• Step 1: Email us at help@additionallengths.co.uk with the subject line "Hair Recycling".

• Step 2: We'll send you a free (UK only) return labels to send them back to us.

• Step 3: Once received, we will process the hair and send it to Matter of Trust.

We’re part of a global movement driving a more inclusive, equitable and regenerative economy, where recycling and sustainability aren’t just commitments, but part of our responsibility across the entire Additional Lengths group.

Our recycling scheme allows you to return used extensions and reduce waste that would otherwise end up in landfill. ​

We have teamed up with Matter of Trust with their Clean Wave Campaign and Little Lady Locks to promote environmental responsibility, sustainability, awareness around recycling of hair human extensions as well as helping to drive better futures.

With their Clean Wave Campaign, Matter of Trust are able to create 'hair mats' with unwanted human hair extensions, which are then used to clean up oil spills. In an effort to keep our oceans clean and sustainable to sea life, our surplus or used hair extensions can go a long way to helping the Clean Wave Campaign in creating the much needed hair mats that are a safe and non-hazardous way to protect coves and beaches from the many oil spills that occur every year.

For hair extensions that can be repurposed for further hair system use, we donate your recycled hair to Little Lady Locks that gives new purpose to the hair by transforming it into bespoke wigs and hair systems for children experiencing hair loss. Overall, this supports a sustainable approach while making a meaningful difference.

Through our recycling scheme, you can:​

• Return any brand of used hair extensions​

• Join the movement to help reduce industry waste​

• Support more responsible product lifecycles​

• Be part of a growing community committed to sustainability ​

By working together with you, we’re helping to reshape the future of hair extensions, making the industry more responsible, circular, and environmentally conscious, one strand at a time. ​

We believe in creating hair for the long game, so even when you can no longer use your hair, we can. We believe in being the change we want to see in the world, and setting the standards for the hair industry in doing our bit for the climate and wider global communities.
