Haircuts for a Cause

Eden and Nira Kesler

Eden and Nira Kesler

When twin sisters Eden and Nira Kesler were four-years old, their parents told them about donating hair to “make wigs for sick people losing their hair.” It was then, that the two young girls made up their minds to do the same: donate their hair for the sake of doing a mitzvah.  They did it once…and now they’ve done it again.  Recently, the sisters, who are first graders at the Bess and Paul Sigel Hebrew Academy in Bloomfield, had haircuts and donated their hair through a program called Pantene Beautiful Lengths, a partnership between Pantene and the American Cancer Society.  The hair is turned into real-hair wigs for women with cancer.
