A vicar from Kent plans to use human hair to help rebuild the crumbling walls of his church. Reverend Martin Henwood of Holy Trinity Church in Dartford said the church is beginning to suffer from centuries of weathering. He plans to mix waste hair from his local barbers with mortar to help put the church back together. "The hair acts like capillaries to allow the moisture in the fabric of the building to breath out and contract in the winter and summer seasons".
