I love to participate in charity work, so when i heard that people cut their hair to be made in to wigs for people undergoing chemotherapy i knew that was what i wanted to do. My hair was very long, and so it was a great length to make a wig, and also i fancied a change - i had never had it really short before.
Not only was it fun to have a completely different hair do, i also really enjoyed donating to such a great cause! In total i had 13 inches off my head - which is so crazy! My head feels a lot lighter, and i actually love my hair short, which surprised me!
Here's a before and after -
This was such a fun thing to do, and i was so excited when my hairdresser started chopping off my ponytail. I definitely recommend giving this a go, if you are thinking about it as it really goes to a great cause!
A snap of my chopped ponytail -
So once it was cut off i sent it off to Little Princess Trust ready to be made in to a wig! It is a great charity and i highly recommend checking their website out, as there is lots of great information on there.
Thanks for reading Xx

DeleteI'm about to have a load of my length, even though i had 15cm off a couple of months ago. It's a shame my hair has been so ruined by bleach, its no use to anyone!

It was really strange when i had it all cut off!! I know i think this is a great way to help out a charity, and hopefully this post may have made more people aware that they are able to do this :D xx
Delete13 inches wow! My hair has gotten ridiculously long, but still can't bear to cut it >.<

Haha i know i couldn't believe i had that much hair on my head! Maybe one day you will want to do it, i must admit i was quite scared in case it didn't look good short!! xx
DeleteFair play to you Leah! Such a good cause, I'm sure you're contribution will make one special person very happy. Thinking of doing this if my hair gets long enough at some stage xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! You should do it, it's a great thing to do :) xx
