So Tuesday afternoon saw my gorgeous girl donating 16 inches off the length of her hair for the Little Princess Trust - a charity that makes real hair wigs for children with cancer.
Spurred on by the lack of access to a hairdresser at the start of Covid-19 she has continued to grow her already long hair and apart from the odd, careful trim to keep the ends in order, has allowed it to flourish unchecked until now.
James and I went along for moral support and he videoed it for a live stream on her Instagram channel whilst I took some phone snaps. All the ladies in the salon were in awe once they knew why we were filming and brandishing a tape measure about!
The main image shows the final length and some quick styling, the inset is the before image - you can see just how long it was.
I'm supremely proud of her for doing this and not only has she donated the physical hair but she has raised enough money on a Just Giving page to cover the cost of having the wig made plus the consultations between the wig makers and the child in question so that there is no cost to the charity at all. No mean feat when the costs up up near the £600 mark!
WELL DONE JULIA !!!!!
So here's the three pieces of hair alongside the tape measure - just need boxing up and sending off with the forms :-)
