This community service initiative—aimed at empowering the residents of Mangunsari Village, Gunungpati, through training on the creation of hair accessories (hairpieces) from hair waste—seeks to educate and empower the community to transform underutilized organic waste into high-value craft products, while simultaneously reducing the burden of environmental pollution. The results indicate that participants gained insight and knowledge regarding the production of hair accessories as creative products. Furthermore, the initiative enabled local women and housewives within the Mangunsari Village community (RW level) to increase their income by developing the skills to turn hair waste into marketable hair accessories. This activity also fosters entrepreneurial motivation among women and homemakers by developing skills that can be practiced independently. Thus, training in the creation of hairpieces from hair waste serves as a form of community empowerment that integrates environmental, creative, and skill-based aspects with economic opportunities. This program is expected to strengthen community self-reliance while raising awareness about the creative utilization of waste.
