hair clippings

Barber's floor debris

Hair clippings are the small pieces of hair that fall or are cut away during a haircut.

They accumulate on the floor of barbershops and salons, swept up and discarded after each customer.

The term emphasizes the fragmentary, waste nature of the material: The stylist brushed the hair clippings from my neck.
