YKI Lebak Bulus chairwoman Rebecca Angka said her "Hair to Share" programme had to shut earlier after receiving tons of hair donations. "We will collect the donated hair and ship them to the wig makers. We have collected a lot so we volition close the programme for a while," Rebecca said.

YKI volition give the wigs to patients who are suffering from pilus loss due to cancer treatment.

"Patients can try the wigs straight at the clinic or we can send them correct to their doorsteps," she said.
