        abstract = {This project focuses on minimizing salon 
waste by transforming discarded hair into eco-friendly 
beauty and hair care products It focuses on extracting 
melanin and keratin from human hair, which play key 
roles in hair colour and protein. Melanin is used for UV
blocking sunscreens, while keratin is used in hair care 
products. To preserve the biomolecules, ionic liquids 
are added, and the hair is treated at different 
temperatures to enhance product quality. The project 
also uses a decision tree algorithm to optimize the 
extraction process and determine the best product 
formulations. Future steps include refining extraction, 
scaling production, and exploring additional uses for 
melanin from hair},
