GUEST POST: Making the cut; cutting long locks for charity...

This post is about donating your hair to charity and has kindly be written by my work colleague Kirsten - enjoy! 

About a month ago after a night out, my friend Emily decided that she wanted to cut her hair off after she woke up with it smelling of smoke and in such a knot that it took her a good ten minutes to brush out. She decided that if she had to get it cut off then she at least would do something wise with it.

Currently, Emily and I live together and seeing as I see her every day without fail I can tell you this. Emily ADORES her hair. She hardly gets it cut in fear of the hairdresser's. She spends a lot of time grooming it and making sure it looks good. She spends over half an hour in the shower, then another hour blowdrying it and straightening it. I’m happy to announce that, although it took as hell of a lot of swaying back and forth, she decided to get her hair cut, and I couldn’t be happier. Not only for my own selfish purposes, but also because she has decided that the hair that gets the chop will be donated to had charity called “The Little Princess Trust.

The Little Princess Trust is a children’s cancer charity that specialises in supplying real hair wigs to children suffering with cancer for the duration of their treatment.  They also assist children with other conditions which result in hairloss; the most common being Alopecia. Their hope is that the gesture will help the child and family, whilst they decide on long-term plans for dealing with this condition.

Well done Emily; I'm just going to leave the link to Emily’s Just Giving page, just in case.

In the meantime, you can get in touch with The Little Princess Trust to see about donating your hair.
