Chennai College Girl Rennee Saradha Donate her Hair

For children, going bald affects their self-esteem and depresses them. "They go through a lot of pain and trauma while battling the disease. The loss of hair adds to their depression," said Dr V Surendran, psycho-oncologist at Adyar Cancer Institute. 

Before Rennee, four girls donated hair by getting their long hair styled into boy cuts. Ramya and Chandika Ganesh, third year students, were the first to contribute 12 inches of hair each. "I always had shoulder length hair. I loved the cause the minute I heard of it and decided to grow my hair and contribute," said Ramya. "I look so much smarter after the hair cut," she said. 

On World Cancer Day, February 4, more than 100 women, including students, parents and teachers of WCC, donated their hair and another 200 have registered for the initiative. The girls plan to promote it in other colleges.
