The second batches of hair were sent in a month ago when we were supposed to collect the previous batch (update on Batch 1 below). The wigs (16 of them) should be ready by next week or so.

Wigs 2019 Batch 1

So, we went to the wig maker about two weeks ago with these...

To the wig maker... but wait

These are just portion of the ponytails we received. Before we could bring them to the wig maker, they need to be sorted according to their length, texture and colour.

More in the box... can you see it?

Easterin's Donation 2016


I just hoped that this 10 inches of hair will help the ones who need it more than I do and I'm looking forward to growing my hair back again and donating it all over again to help more people. :)

2nd batch Donated

Our second batch of wigs of 2016 have been donated to Breast Cancer Foundation last Saturday, 13 May 2017.

We would like to thanks our hair donors, sponsors and volunteers for making this possible.

Wig Y16-08
Donors (from Top): Denis, Peixian, Margaret

Did you know that..
















  • one wig cost around S$200 to make? 
  • some of the supposedly sponsored wigs ended up being paid by the volunteers?
  • if they win, the prize money could benefit 25 patients / survivors? 
  • till date, there are over 800 donors, but the vote count is less than half?
  • you have less than 4 days to help?

Less than 5 days

This project was officially started in 2011. However, not many people in Singapore knew about this.

A lot of donors suggested that they should create more awareness. However ... .

For the past five years, the volunteers had made a total of 28 wigs and had donated them to NCCS and BCF. These are just some of them. They wish they could keep up with the demand, but ... .


It would cost the volunteers around S$200 to make a wig, and they are fortunate to have some friends, colleagues, hair donors and some anonymous to help in the past. Sadly ... .

If you know the answer, vote for them.

If you don't know the answer, voting for them is the answer.

Five

Day number 5 … The volunteers have been checking the vote count as and when they are happy anxious. Still far behind.

They had been asking people to vote, but people may not really know what they really do. Yet again, another couple of months back (like there are 24 months this year) crews from Mediacorp Chinese News were seen with them. And then… they appeared on a television programme on Channel U.

The show, World This Week, did a brief segment on what this group is all about, you can watch it over at the link below.

But then, still no sponsor.

Vote for them, though they cannot be your voice in the parliament, they can help those in need too.

Wee Kean's Donation


"I've never kept my hair for so long before - the length of time and the length of my hair.

Estelle's Donation


I’ve always had long hair since primary school as I was always told I don’t suit short hairstyle . With such perception in my mind , even when I started working I didn’t dare to have short hairstyle . Though I really envy girls with short and chic hairstyles .

Hui Yan's Donation


"I was growing out my hair in preparation for my wedding when my colleague noticed the length and suggested that i consider hair donation after my big day (she was growing out her hair for donation at that time too).

Azreena's Donation

"When I heard about RYH, I wanted to do my part, in memory of my Mom and stepmom (both had passed away from cancer).

Mae's Donation
