That's a wonderful way to recycle. My friend, Dolores, has very long, white hair almost to her waist. She saves the hair from her brush and puts it out on her back picnic table for the birds. They love her!
Another friend, who spins, asked me to save the brushings from a long-haired Maine Coon mix cat I used to have. She spun it with wool to make an almost angora-like yarn.

This time of the year my dog starts to moult, so I brush her every morning, put the hairs in a ball, and wedge this in the hedge - then watch the sparrows and blue tits take it away for nesting. In the autumn I clear out the nest boxes, to find the hairs tightly woven into their nests.
