In the video, he shows himself removing a clump of hair from his hairbrush before burying the hair beneath the plant’s soil. He then goes on to explain why his unusual method is so effective.

He says: “Human hair contains high amounts of nitrogen and the best part is that it takes a while for it to biodegrade, which means every time you water your plants, nitrogen gets released into the soil.

“If one of your plants suddenly stops growing or the bottom leaves are turning yellow, it could mean that it’s missing nitrogen.”

He told The Mirror: “I knew that nitrogen is crucial in the growth of plants - without nitrogen, plants turn yellow and cannot grow taller.

“However, in one of them I buried a ball of hair next to the stem of the plant. Over the next six weeks, the plant with the hair buried grew faster and taller than the one without.”

Across the two platforms, the video has over 97,000 views, with 8,000 likes and hundreds of comments from people who were astonished to learn this trick.
