Soil stabilization is an extremely important process in civil engineering that helps improve the properties of soil so that it can be used in Construction or other works. The application of human hair fibers (HHF) as a soil stabilization reinforcement material offers a novel and environmental-friendly method. Not only this method enhances the engineering characteristics of soil like shear strength and bearing capacity but also offers a permanent solution for the dumping of non-biodegradable human hair waste. Some studies conducted recently have revealed that the soil’s load-bearing capacities can be enhanced considerably by integrating HHF into the samples of the soil. The process entails mixing human hair fibres in the soil of differing percentages and conducting the standard laboratory tests to obtain the best mix ratio that produces the best mechanical properties. The findings establish that HHF could be an alternative for commercial fiber materials and this is a cost-effective approach and environmentally important for stabilizing the soil.
