Southmoor woman's 18-inch trim proves a snip
A WOMAN who did not cut her hair for five years said it was “brilliant” to finally snip it off for youngsters battling cancer.
Helen Redfern, 42, from Cherry Tree Close, Southmoor, near Abingdon, had grown her hair until it was more than 18 inches long. But she cut it off for the Little Princess Trust, which will use it to make a wig for a child who has lost their hair from cancer treatment.
She said: “It feels brilliant to finally be rid of the hair, as it was really heavy.
Ms Redfern, pictured with hairdresser Vanessa Green, at the Aquarius Hair salon in Southmoor, also raised more than £500 in sponsorship money for Cancer Research UK.
