It's about time for a haircut! I reckon I'll donate it!

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.

When I started growing my hair, all I wanted was to grow an afro and have a good laugh at my own expense. At some point during my hair growth, I realised what might have been easy for me (growing own hair), might not come as easy for some. That led me to continue growing my hair until it’s long enough to meet the minimum requirement so I can donate it for those in need. I figured that I may as well raise some awareness and spark convo and raise some money for those in need.

I'll be chopping off over 36cm in November.

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

The Big Chop!

Monday 29th Nov
I got the chop and it feels so good! 💇‍♀️ 

Together, we have raised $1500 😲 The funds raised through Hair with Heart, and the proceeds from the hair donated, support Variety’s grants and programs for kids who are sick, disadvantaged or who have special needs. 

I give thanks to my family and friends that have inspired and encouraged me to grow out my luscious locks and raise money for those in need, for it is more blessed to give than to receive. 

Huge shout out to the blessed souls that have contributed to helping kids in need. Thank you,   Darelene Waterfall, Marty Ashton, Kurt MacLennan, Danielle Cox, Brian Simpson, Benjamin Toholka, Monte McNolty, Leif Thomas, Pete Threlfall, Barb Wood, Peter Hull, Geoff Otley,  Cadence Reddick, Megan Kelly, QC Wisenhimer, Kamon Siri, the team of artists at Moeschi Hair Stylists and my lovely wife Lia Susanti Quintanilla.

Consultation with Moeschi Hair Stylists.

Monday 18th Oct
Good day all! 
First and foremost, I thank Darelene, Kurt, Danni, Brian, Ben and Marty for their time and donation as it is most appreciated.

In pursuit of chopping off 36cm of hair length, I have consulted with the artists at Moeschi Hair Stylists; a member of Sustainable Salons. We have agreed that currently 34cm of hair is available for the Big Chop, so I will be growing more luscious locks until my next consultation in November.

I'll keep ya'll updated peeps!

Thanks for all the support
