Instituted on World Cancer Day 2014, this hair donation drive aims to collect hair from donors to make wigs made from natural human hair for distribution to the needy. The hair donation drive aims to boost the confidence of cancer survivors who experience hair loss due to chemotherapy treatment by providing natural hair wigs

The wigs were handed over to Dr. V. Shanta, Chairperson – Adyar Cancer Institute.

“Tangled is a CSR initiative that is very close to our heart at Green Trends,” said Mr. Deepak Praveen, COO, Green Trends Salon. “We have devised specific processes to ensure that the donor’s existing hair style is not affected while donating hair. Further special training has been extended to over 2,000 plus stylists across Green Trends salons to facilitate collection of hair from donors. Since its inception, the project has received an overwhelming response with more than 4,000 people donating hair that went into the creation of 370 wigs”
