Jaime-Maree's Hair with Heart challenge

I'm taking the chop to change lives

I'm chopping my hair and need your help!

I have made the decision to make a difference by cutting and donating my hair to be made into a wig for someone who has lost their hair due to a medical condition.

I'll be chopping off 36cm on 26th Feb 2023

Wigs cost families up to $6,000, lasting 1-2 years, meaning families can spend tens of thousands of dollars on the purchase of wigs throughout a child’s youth. By making a donation to Variety - the Children's Charity, you can help provide a wig or other vital equipment to a child in need. Thank you for helping kids in need.

My Updates

Date confirmed!

Wednesday 22nd Feb
Appointment booked for Saturday 25th! How exciting 😄 only a couple more days until the big chop!! 
I’ll post photos to my socials when it all happens. 

Thank you to everyone for supporting me ❤️❤️

Long hair!

Wednesday 15th Feb
Everyone that knows me, knows how attached I am to my hair. It has been this length for as *long* as I can remember! I cut it short once in high school and have been growing it back ever since; inevitably connecting my identity to the length of the filament growing from the follicles on my head. 

I’ve toyed with the idea of cutting it for a while now but instead settled for getting a fringe last June haha 

My 29th birthday was rushing toward me with added stress of ‘omg how will I celebrate?!’ I decided to try and take some of the spotlight from me and put it to a good deed and support a charity instead; while simultaneously shedding the weight of my identity being synonymous to the length of my hair. 

Thank you everyone for supporting me in the big chop! I am cutting off a minimum of 36cm which is just below my shoulders, but will probably opt for a bit more on the day. 

The day is TBC once I lock in a hairdresser. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know! You’d think that would’ve been the first thing I organised, but alas here we are impulse deciding to cut my hair… bring it on! 

Thanks for all the support
