I'm chopping my hair and would love your help!
As most of you know, my hair is one of my most defining features. It is thick, it is curly, it is long and I have been growing it for as long as I can remember. After about a year of consideration, I have finally made the big decision to make a difference! On 8th February 2022, I will be cutting and donating 40cm of my hair to be made into a wig for a child who has lost their hair due to a medical condition.
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.
I am passionate about the amazing work Variety does for sick, disabled and disadvantaged kids in the community. While donating my hair is my personal sacrifice, I would be grateful for your support, if you can spare a few dollars, in raising some money for this fantastic charity and kids in need.
Thank you xxx
My Updates
The big chop!
Wednesday 9th Feb❤️💇🏽♀️❤️💇🏽♀️❤️💇🏽♀️❤️
I did it! I am so proud to have been able to donate my hair to Variety - Hair with Heart! I am loving the new hairstyle so far but it will take some getting used to after so many years of long hair.
A big thank you to the wonderful Tamara from Tamara’s Hair and Beauty who not only cut (and tamed) my hair but also donated her time to do so!
Finally, an enormous thank you to all my amazing sponsors for your generous donations, support and encouragement. I am so pleased to have been able to meet my target!
I have added some new photos of the cutting process and my new hairstyle to my page. If the final product has inspired you, there’s still time to donate xxx
