Donating My Hair To Charity!

I decided to have my hair cut and it is a bit of change for a good reason!!

So I haven’t had my hair cut for a long time, we are talking years and years here and my hair grows so quickly. Before I knew it, it was down to the bottom of my back and my hair is so thick that I just couldn’t do anything with it so it was time for it to go. Having 3 children aged 5 years and under, long hair just wasn’t practical either. It was being put up in a pony tail every single day and was getting to the point of being annoying.

I searched for a local hair dresser that could come to the house and decided to cut most of my hair off for charity! My hair is being donated to the Little Princess Trust. They are a charity that creates wigs for children and young people that have lost their hair due to conditions or cancer.

Near enough anyone can donate hair, it has to be at least 7 inches in length. There are a few reasons why people can’t donate hair; if it is an unnatural colour, dreadlocks or very tightly curled hair. The guidelines of donating are on the website so check them out if you are thinking of donating your hair.

I donated around 40 cm of my hair and it was so easy. It goes to a fantastic charity and hopefully my hair will now come to good use as a wig. I am also completely in love with my new hair too!
