What is Hairshares?

Hair shares is a donation program that encourages people to donate their hair to charitable causes. The project was started by Hive account@nepd whose wife's late mother suffered from hair loss due to cancer and used to wear wig.

This inspired his wife and after the passing away of her mother she decided to continuously donate hair to charities - hence the Hive account@hairshares project.

Unlike most charitable causes however, this project has a capitalist feel to it. Participants who can donate hair get rewarded with BitShares assets like HairShares, BeyondBits, WhaleShares and other tokens which could be traded for money on Bittrex or redeemed for upvotes.

They have one interesting motto;

 ~Your hair is the gift that keeps on giving~

Why donate a hair?

Hairs donated to charities are not sold, they are freely given to patients and other people who suffer from hair loss and need wigs.

Besides, its all a voluntary program, you only donate if you want and you get to decide how much to donate as well as to which charity to donate to.
