<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span lang="EN-GB">After our two years project, during
which we have definitely achieved more success than expected but also faced
many difficulties, we make a very positive evaluation throughout the experience.
It makes us want to continue to deepen in all matters worked along this time. Even though we have found that every time
there is a greater awareness of the need to return to nature, to respect our
environment and therefore use sustainable products, we have also observed that
there is still a long way to go before it is feasible to eliminate the use of
chemicals that pollute our world and ourselves.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB">One of the most complex and complete
activities that we have done during the project was commissioning the exhibition
Lookin 'Green; the outcome of which we are fully satisfied with because it was
so demanding and all the participants had to do a joint effort in order to
reach the level we got to provide to the public. Among other tasks, we all
conducted multiple investigations on natural, biodegradable and environmentally
friendly products for application in hairdressing and makeup. We studied fabrics
and other materials for designing and making the costumes, requiring lots of
imagination to find and use sustainable accessories and add-ons.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Although finding these products and
materials was difficult, we should be proud of the tremendous team effort that
involved the development of hairstyles, makeup and fashion designs, to which
not only the twelve members of the Personal Image Department at IES El Palo in
Málaga, involved or not in the Project, and our coordinator Paloma were
committed, but also colleagues and students of the San Telmo School of Art in Málaga.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The starting point for the
development of the collections was the idea that gave meaning to this project:
sustainable energy sources like water, wind and sun. Spain of course
represented the sun, nothing more suitable, especially considering that the
Spanish partners have carried out our work in Málaga, a city blessed with a
gorgeous sunny weather almost all year round.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Taking the sun, source of life,
light and energy, as the leitmotiv of our collection, each of the designs was developed
in a way that they all had something in common, yet they were independent and
completely different from each other. From dawn to sunset, each of the designs
evoke a particular moment of the sun, as that in which it caresses the wheat
fields or when it sprouts spring flowers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The crack of dawn opened our show,
representing that moment when the first rays of sunlight hide the moon;
continued showing how the light spreads out in every corner reviving us; then
reaching its zenith with such a strength that floods with colour and energy, to
then descend and reach the twilight. After that entering the night, which
renews us waiting for a bright new day. This same philosophy inspired MCAST,
our partners from Malta, in developing the showreel they made to accompany our
models.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The major difficulties relating to
products, elements and fabrics needed was to find those who allow us to achieve
a proper level of quality in the result. Adequate and similar to what would be
achieved with the use of chemicals that have been used habitually. For example,
finding strong enough hairsprays, cosmetics and hair dyes free of ammonia and
amides, makeup with proper coverage and durability, and fabrics that were not
artificially dyed. However, the use of materials and fabrics from recycling
made our work easier.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Throughout the process of creating
and testing designs, we realized that in some cases we had no choice but to
drop sustainability using materials unsuitable for an event of this subject,
such as silicone, to hold elements in some headgear. Some hairpieces needed for
long hair or concealers with enough covering capacity (these last ones being
used only for the photo shoot and not in the parade).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB">All in all, our mentality change has
been dramatic, and while we have not achieved that 100% of the elements used
would be sustainable, reaching 95% in itself is a huge change in attitude and a
great achievement that eventually will increasingly have more impact on the way
we work and the awareness of our students, their families, professionals and
gradually the society in general.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span lang="EN-GB">We are well aware that there is
still a long way to go but we are confident that with further research to
achieve the same results without the use of toxic chemicals and a change of
attitude where for example a healthy and beautiful hair is more important than
showing grey hair, which is just the consequence of a natural process of
healthy aging, we will definitely achieve an improvement of our and our
planet’s health.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Having created a niche position for itself in a fiercely competitive local market, Élan Hair Design has worked tirelessly to improve upon its position as ‘the UK’s most eco-friendly hair salon.’<br />
Key to this innovative approach has been a commitment to incorporate almost every conceivable environmentally-friendly initiative – as demonstrated by a major ‘green’ refurbishment of its Inverurie town centre salon, completed in 2012.<br />
The ongoing project includes the use of recyclable materials; PV panels to generate electricity and solar thermal panels to provide energy for hot water; LED lighting that uses 80% less electricity; and, an air-source heat pump, saving 80% on heating costs.<br />
The salon understandably uses large volumes of water but thanks to the installation of a new basin system, water consumption has fallen by 64%.<br />
Élan has also made substantial reductions in its carbon emissions and the amount of waste it sends to landfill. This includes sending customers’ hair clippings, along with other biodegradable waste, to be spread as compost on local farmers’ fields.<br />
The business, established more than 40 years ago, is led by Lorna and Gordon Milton along with their daughters Lanice and Lauren.<br />
Lorna Milton, owner and director of Élan Hair Design, said: “We made the decision to implement the new eco-friendly approach on the back of customer feedback which indicated they wanted a greener and more sustainable service.<br />
“Since then the business has grown significantly with increased turnover as well as a rise in the number of customers visiting our salon.<br />
“We have continued to make major inroads into reducing our environmental impact. This includes putting in place initiatives which have seen us reduce our carbon emissions by 90% and increase the amount of the salon’s waste successfully diverted from landfill to 95%.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> During the Amsterdam conference we made a visit to a Green Salon. The Mebels's Institute. </span><span style="text-indent: -17.85pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">For the owner Dianne Mebels sustainability is not a trend, but a matter of obviousness. Dianne’s background: </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-indent: -17.85pt;">Dianne as a child wanted to be veterinarian. She was always very fond of animals and nature. She finished the VET school of agriculture and had the chance to do her school internship in a hair salon. There she was told that the agricultural college was a waste of her time. But later in her own salon it turned out that this school was not at all a waste of time. Her knowledge about nature, seeds and plants was ‘2nd nature’ to her but vital for her knowledge development in her current business. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-indent: -17.85pt;">Years ago, when Dianne was working with chemical products only, a customer approached Dianne with the question if she could colour her hair with Henna. She then started experimenting with ingredients. For example, using red wine and ground coffee. She liked working with it and she liked the smell. Moreover, she noticed that the colour result was very nice, the hair was also healthy. She always wanted to do something other than just chemical hair dyes, but she did not know what that should be. This customer did change her view on hair dyes. Dianne has been active with the use of natural hair products since 2002. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; text-indent: -17.85pt;">In general there is an increasing use of natural products. There is however uncertainty about truly natural products and semi-natural products. This is very confusing for the consumer. Dianne believes that more clarity should be given. Many consumers think they use natural products, but in reality there are chemicals in it as well. Moreover, Dianne thinks it's unimaginable that women still destroy their hair with chemical hair dye. She wants to show these women that it can be different.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">We were
welcomed by Joop Engelander and Bert van Toor from the Graphic Lyceum Utrecht (GLU). Joop gave an
introduction on the school system in the Netherlands and the school itself. <br />
After that there was a discussion which involved both students from the GLU and
students from the project partners about ‘reducing early school dropout’. This
topic is directly related to sustainability. Keeping the students inside the
walls of your school makes the school more aimed at sustainable employability
of students within the school. An important drop-out explanation given by one
of the Dutch students was the decrease of motivation because of ‘bad teachers’,
meaning teachers who are not able to make students motivated in their study
field or just miscommunication with the teachers. We should not underestimate
this. Unfortunately there was not enough time to finish the discussion and draw
some general conclusions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)
is about using education to highlight and address environmental issues such as
climate change, population growth, the use of finite resources and social
inequality. The Sustainability in the
Creative Industries European College project is an example of ESD practice
whereby the College partners share knowledge and experience to promote
sustainability. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">At Fife College, one of the exercises to
promote sustainability in the hairdressing curriculum has been by using the
Hairdressing Heroes workbook. The
workbook started as a work placement project with Dumfries and Galloway College
as part of my MSc in Carbon Management.
As a result of this work I am now the Sustainable Development Adviser in
the College and a Project Consultant with the Environmental Association of Universities
and Colleges. In both roles I aim to promote
sustainability in the curriculum across College education in Scotland. I believe there is no area of the curriculum
where ESD cannot be incorporated, however work is required to ensure staff have
the knowledge and confidence to engage effectively with ESD. Care also needs to be taken to avoid extra
pressure on an already overstretched curriculum so that links can be made to
existing course provision to incorporate ESD.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Through this work I met Christine Laing
from Fife College and realised she shared my passion in addressing
sustainability issues through education.
To help achieve this Christine is determined to build a ‘green salon’ in
the College as a valuable teaching resource for hairdressing students. We decided to work together and Christine
asked if I would meet with the Hairdressing students to show them links between
environmental issues and hairdressing practices and also possible solutions to
reducing the environmental impacts of hairdressing. Leading on from this, the students are now
working with the Hairdressing Heroes workbook to further their sustainability
understanding. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">This Hairdressing Heroes workbook is designed to be used
either directly by students, or by staff to assist them in embedding
sustainability within their course delivery. The workbook aims to link
sustainability with current hairdressing teaching and practice, where
appropriate, but it also addresses other areas of our lives that raise
sustainability issues. The workbook also utilises core skills teaching
wherever possible, by using activities that incorporate literacy, numeracy and
IT skills. These activities can also strengthen employability skills by
identifying financial savings by changing hairdressing practices.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">I was thrilled when Christine asked me if I
would present Hairdressing Heroes at the Sustainability in the Creative
Industries event in May 2013 at Fife College as it gave me a chance to meet
staff and students from the other European partner Colleges. This project is invaluable in sharing
experiences as there is always something we can learn from each other to
enhance teaching practices and sharing sustainability knowledge is a positive
step towards addressing environmental concerns. <b> <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">The Hairdressing Heroes workbook is now being
improved through feedback from staff and students by research being conducted
in a number of Colleges in Scotland, including Fife College. As the European partners Colleges have also
requested access to the workbook this could provide another means of testing
the effectiveness of the workbook to incorporate sustainability into
hairdressing teaching. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Work is now underway to produce
sustainability workbooks for other areas of the curriculum and the existing workbooks
have also been adapted into online learning resources. The first workbook in the series,
Introduction to Sustainability, has also been formally accredited by the
Scottish Qualification and Credit Framework.
All of this work is taking place at Dumfries and Galloway College;
however the feedback received from other Colleges in Scotland and also from the
European partner Colleges in the Sustainability in the Creative Industries project,
will all help to inform future developments in embedding sustainability into
the curriculum. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB">Being part of the European project has
given me an opportunity to discuss my ESD work with Colleges I would never have
had access to, which I know will prove invaluable to my research. In the long term I hope my research will
influence ESD developments in Scottish College education and if this can be
shared with other European Colleges through projects such as this then even
better. Meanwhile, in the short term, I
will assist Christine in any way possible to realise her vision of a ‘green’
hairdressing salon in the College. The
‘green’ salon could provide an example of best practice of incorporating
sustainability into hairdressing teaching to be shared with Colleges across
Scotland. </span></div>

<i><span lang="EN-US">Objectives:</span></i><span lang="EN-US"> To investigate the prevalence and the severity
of fragrance-related symptoms among hairdressers in Denmark compared with the
Danish general population. Further, to characterize former hairdressers who are
severely chemically intolerant to fragranced products in relation to sex, age
and health- and work-related reasons for leaving the hairdressing profession.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">Methods:</span></i><span lang="EN-US"> The study population consisted of all
hairdressers who graduated from the public vocational schools in Denmark during
1985 and 2007 (n = 7840) and a random sample of individuals from the Danish
general population (n = 6000). Both populations received a postal questionnaire
on symptoms from inhalation of fragranced products and the resultant behavioral
consequences. All former hairdressers also answered additional questions on
health- and work-related reasons for leaving the profession.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">Results:</span></i><span lang="EN-US"> No differences were found in the prevalence
(OR = 1.0, CI = 0.89–1.14) or the severity (OR = 1.1, CI = 0.80–1.51) of symptoms
from inhalation of fragranced products in hairdressers compared with the
general population. Among hairdressers, however, experience of
fragrance-related symptoms (OR = 1.2, CI = 1.01–1.31) and adjustments of social
(OR = 1.8, CI = 1.12–2.80) and occupational conditions (OR = 2.8, CI =
1.84–4.25) were reported significantly more often by former hairdressers than
current hairdressers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<i><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions:</span></i><span lang="EN-US"> The prevalence and the severity of
fragrance-related symptoms were similar in hairdressers and the general population.
Former hairdressers were more affected by fragranced products than current
hairdressers were. Although fragrance-related symptoms did not seem to be more
frequent among hairdressers, the hairdressing profession might pose a problem
for those who are chemically intolerant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
