This method is known for being the cheapest, with most of the hair sourced from barbershops & hair salons in India & China. Cut hair is swept into industrial buckets then sent for chemical extraction with the final additive product shipped to the US. L-Cysteine is added to flour & bread products as a dough conditioner & shelf-life extender. And human hair is the source of L-Cysteine in supplements & vitamin/electrolyte energy drinks.
