Now, I have been growing my hair for around 2 years. This was not an intentional thing....I just haven't had either the time or the inclination to get my backside down to the hairdressers and get it loped off! As a result I now have a ponytail that is around 13" long!! Now enter my saviour......a work colleague of mine that is also a qualified hairdresser, and does it in her spare time, has said she will take on the now mammoth task of getting my hair into some semblance of order. Good luck to her!
Now I can put my laziness of not getting my hair cut, to some very good use. I had been aware that you can donate your hair to make wigs for cancer patients, so I started trawling the internet and came across a fantastic organisation called 'Little Princess Trust'. Here is a small extract from their website ;-
The Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs to children suffering hair loss due to cancer treatment.
We supply and fully fund the best wigs available from all over the world, especially designed for children. We also provide personal fitting and styling to ensure the wig is as close as possible to the original hair.
For any parent, discovering your child has a serious illness like cancer or leukaemia is devastating. The trauma for both parent and child can be increased by worrying about the side effects of the treatment, particularly hair loss.
To me, this was just the most perfect place to send my hair. What a magnificent charity this is.
