Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh's wife, Hazel Keech, recently opened up about her postpartum struggles. Ms Keech and Mr Singh got married in November 2016. They welcomed their first child, a baby boy in 2022. In August this year, the couple welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Aura. Now, in an Instagram post, Ms Keech spoke about her postpartum hair loss journey and revealed why she decided to donate her hair for wigs to cancer-survivor kids.
Ms Keech addressed a phenomenon that many new mothers can relate to - postpartum hair loss. She said that she often sees new moms cutting their hair shot but never understood the reason behind it until she experienced excessive hair loss herself. She even jokingly described the challenges new mothers face.
"I always noticed new mums cut their hair short and i never understood why. I later learned about postpartum hairfall, which must suck when you're adjusting to a new reality of tiny humans who, like a motion sensor, cry or poop the moment you step into the bathroom," Ms Keech wrote on Instagram.

She revealed that this decision was inspired by her husband, Yuvraj Singh, who had gone through cancer treatment and witnessed the emotional impact of losing hair during chemotherapy.
