Hazel Keech Singh, artist and former cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s wife, shared in a recent Instagram post her journey with postpartum challenges, including significant hair loss. She decided to trim her tresses and donate her hair to support cancer patients.

Hazel Keech shared a series of photos of herself getting her hair cut. The first image showed her sporting short hair and holding the chopped hair. The second photo shows her long tresses. She also shared a couple of videos while getting her hair cut, followed by another one where she was flaunting her new hairstyle.

Sharing photos of her tresses, Hazel Keech wrote that she had always noticed that new moms cut their hair short but never understood why. She later learned about postpartum hair fall, which sucks when a woman is already adjusting to the new reality of tiny humans who “like a motion sensor, cry or poop the moment you step into the bathroom."

She shared that she has decided to donate her hair to turn it into wigs for people going through cancer treatments. She said that her husband shared with her how he used to feel when watching all his hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes fall out while he was getting chemotherapy and how it took a toll on one’s self-esteem. Yuvraj Singh, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2011, fought against the dreadful disease and made a powerful comeback.
