Marketing is always wonderful!
'She lost her hair due to chemotherapy. Donate your hair to make wig for her.'
-the obvious content of any article with a title similar to this article!
It's a stereotype of girl or a 'beautiful girl'.
In fact it has a few evolutionary interests that the relation between thickness and length of hair of a female and her health, and hence the male preference.
Well, we claim that we are 'intelligent' and 'rational' beings so we should be able to replace those traits with rationalism.
You talk so rude!
why?
Because you do not have empathy for her feelings.
What kind of feelings?
In brief, the difficulty for them to face the world after losing hair.
Have you ever think that, where did SHE (not 'HE'!) get it? or why would she feel so? What's there in losing hair?
there comes the marketing!
We do not think unless we are forced to think somehow... We accept and follow what the rest of the world do. So if someone appears before you and say 'gdhajtjhdkfrhg is morality and you should do so' we will definitely do so (provided we think rest of the world do so).
Isn't it much more important to boost her self esteem than, to cover her real face with a mask that society think is beautiful, to encourage her to live the way she is, to accept her for who she is???
Why do we degrade her by donating wig as if, in the absence of such a thing she is not 'beautiful'?
Like any other charitable organization they also ask us to donate hair to help them. If one have that much empathy for the cancer patients why doesn't hesher (he/she) shave hiser (his/her) head?
(Oh! we never cut off our legs when someone loses their legs; also we don't ask them if they need any leg replacement from someone's body -people do donate their various body parts; I hope you'd know it-)

it is stated in this article that; "When we started off, we did not get a positive response and some people were critical of the practice because there is a prevalent belief that hair donation is unacceptable in religion," Fahad tells Dawn.com, "Nevertheless, there are also many of those who are passionate about the cause and never fail to disappoint. We have provided wigs free of cost to about 25 people, most of whom are women above 30 as well as girls under 12."
"Fahad then searched for neighbouring countries that would assist him and found a company in Chennai that agreed to make it for Rs1000 per wig. “It was all going well till the customs started charging us an exorbitant amount on each wig and started stopping our deliveries."
"I feel this is the best way to help someone because we are healthy beings and we need to feel their pain too,” said Shahid."
At e-bay.in, the cost ranges from Rupee 6000/- to 15,000/-

At some place on earth a businessman might be saying 'Thanks for chemotherapy for making me rich with the wig marketing...'
