For a few months Kirsten was desperate to cut her hair short. As it was so long, I asked her to wait until she was very sure.
While we were waiting, she discovered that it was possible to donate her hair. After some research, Kirsten chose a charity who provide wigs to children who have lost their hair through cancer or other illness.
We also discovered that it costs the charity around £350 to provide one wig. So our kind hearted girl asked if she could be sponsored to cut her hair to raise the money to provide a wig.
I have to admit I was slightly nervous, I was worried she had put too much pressure on herself, but I was there to support her fully and allowed her to lead the way and it led us to a lovely sunny day in February.
Marissa, our hairdresser, was amazing. She made Kirsten feel so special and relaxed.
As soon as we arrived my nerves disappeared, Kirsten felt only excitement. She couldn't wait to get started.
Finally it was time to start cutting and look at her wee happy face.
Love those golden locks.
Each strand was at least 11 inches long.
Marissa treated our girl to a fancy wash and blow dry.
My heart was bursting.
She loved her new hair! She never stopped grinning the whole time.
GC had sneaked down earlier with some celebratory flowers for Miss K.
It just finished off this fantastic experience perfectly.
And in the end she raised over £700 for the little Princess fund , which is enough to provide
two wigs and those gorgeous golden locks will go towards another.
I am so proud of that girl x
