What US medical supply chain can learn from the fashion industry

The shortage of crucial medical supplies, especially personal protective equipment, has crippled the United States’ ability to quell the COVID-19 pandemic.

Glittery Hair Trends

Glittery hair treatments are gaining interest. Carol Conti, an artist residing near Asheville, North Carolina, visited Florida in December and noticed sparkling strands in her friends’ hair. She learned it was called fairy hair, or hair tinsel, colorful iridescent strands that attach to strands of actual hair. “Once applied, the strands can last anywhere from two weeks to two months, as they fall out when your actual hair does. It can even keep up with your daily activity — heat, water, sweat, you name it,” confirmed purewow.com in a December 2018 report on fairy hair. “Being more conservative, I wasn’t so sure,” said Conti, 65, “but they [friends] convinced me to at least get a few strands.
