Hair donation

Lisa RaywebLisa Ray’s campaign for celebrities to donate their hair to women who have lost their hair to cancer intends to request topnotch actresses to part with their tresses for this worthy cause.

On top of Lisa’s list of Bollywood divas are Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra.

Lisa explains: “Deepika and Priyanka are two of the popular faces of mainstream Indian cinema. They are beautiful and talented. These days Bollywood actresses experiment with their looks for roles, experiment with their hair lengths. I would love to see them cut and contribute their locks for the cause of creating a real hair wig for a cancer patient. What a statement that would make!”

Kalki Koechlin and Konkona Sen-Sharma are the two other actresses on Lisa’s lustrous locks’ list. “From alternative cinema these are the two actresses I admire for their sense of commitment. As Nandita Das, Shabana Azmi and I have at different times cut our hair for on screen roles, I feel these are the actresses right now who would do the same. Konkona has absolutely luscious Bengali locks.”

Having gone through the trauma of losing her hair to cancer, Lisa knows the first-hand the trauma of a cancer-stricken woman’s loss of self worth after hair loss. She says, “It just takes 8 inches of hair. My true purpose is to highlight awareness and invite people to care and act. As someone put it so well… not everyone has money to spare, but most have hair!”
