SINGAPORE - If you are planning to get a haircut soon, hold off on that. Let it grow longer, so that you can donate your hair to make wigs for cancer patients and make a difference in their lives. Project Haircatchers, a non-profit initiative by a group of 23 students from different schools, hopes to make at least 50 wigs with the support of 200 donors this year.

Being in technological and scientific era, this is the most stupid thing anyone can do….unless he or she is not well -versed in bioscience. The reason I say that is because our hair is a living thing and when we cut it off, it starts to degenerate and rot as time goes. In this process it is natural for the dead hair to attract micro-organisms feasting on it (decaying process). At the same time, those micro-organisms which may be Protozoa or bacteria may also take the opportunity to attack and infect the skin be it on the body or the scarp and for very sensitive people especially the weak and cancer patients, their immune is low and hence may cause “serious skin infection”
