NEW! Brave Cut Gives Wigs To Romanian Women With Cancer

Break out the tissues before you watch this inspirational video about how a small act can have a massive impact on cancer patients. In Romania, a wig made from human hair costs four times the average household income, leaving the majority of women battling cancer unable to buy something to restore their dignity. Nonprofit Fundaia Renasterea stepped in to create a new medium for donating hair. The organization convinced women to cut 15 centimeters of hair in an asymmetrical shape. Not only do woman battling cancer receive much-needed wigs, but the women who donate sport a unique hairstyle, which makes them stand out in a great way, recognizable to other women who donated. Forget the Rachel -- the Brave Cut is taking the country by storm, and hair salons throughout the country offer the haircut at no charge. To date, more than 2,400 women donated hair used in the manufacture of 651 wigs. McCann Bucharest created the campaign.
