Hair Donation Charity Event

Adonia Media organised a very meaningful activity yesterday, by getting hairdressers together to offer free haircuts in exchange for hair.

Students and staff of CHk HAIR Academy were joined by volunteers in the industry to offer the service of cutting hair. Besides those who walked in to donate their hair, there were other paying customers who did not have hair to donate because it was not long enough, paid regular salon prices.

The hair collected will be handed over to “Locks of Hope”, who will then send the hair to China to be weaved into wigs. These wigs will then be donated to cancer warriors who have lost their hair in the process of treatment, and are unable to buy their own wigs. Wigs made from real hair can be pricey and the money they have is better channelled to their medical treatment and care, which can be extremely costly.

Wearing a wig can restore the confidence of these patients who may have lost their hair during the course of treatment. The primary requirement for the donated hair was to be at least six inches (15cm) in length. Curly hair was accepted too. While most of the hair donations were by women and girls, there was a man who participated in the worthy cause. Kudos to him.

There were also many businesses, families, and individuals who came forward to answer the appeal for cash donations towards the cause. Children brought along their piggy banks to donate their savings. What a way to instil kindness in young minds.
