A dental nurse from Hoole is donating her luscious locks to a charity which provides real hair wigs for children suffering hair loss.

Ashleigh Whitham, 25, will have around 20cm of hair cut off on January 9 in aid of the Little Princess Trust.

As well as transforming her barnet, Ashleigh – who works at Bank House Dental Practice – is hoping to raise £350 for the charity.

She said: “I am very lucky to be happy and healthy with a full head of hair.

“I always like to do things for charity and saw someone else doing this on Facebook so enquired about it.

“I was sent a fundraising pack with a DVD and it was amazing to see how the charity helped children who have lost their hair.”
