I could cry ?

Thanks everyone I’m very proud of her but the style she chose is so boyish and shaved around her ears but I’m guessing that’s why she chose it. It will grow and she may like it long again in the future.

What a lovely thing to do. Her hair will grow back in time and you should be proud of her tanith

My daughter donates her hair it is a precious thing to do.

Cut hair regrows.

Cry with joy, tanith that you have such a lovely granddaughter!

One of my daughters has no hair at the moment. This is why I can't empathise with tears over a decision to have one's hair cut to donate it to someone who needs it, someone who has no hair to style in any way at all.

The serenity of my daughter's face shines through. She was always serene. It shows even more now.

Perhaps you could look at your grand-daughter's face instead of at the hair style you don't like, tanith.

Baggs having lost my hair last year I totally empathis!

Baggs Wishing your daughter well.

I must say tanith, if I needed a wig because of cancer,I’d be very grateful for anything but I’d much rather have one with the glorious colour and health of your young granddaughter that the much loved but inevitably less vibrant colour of my own daughters. Makes you think about the sometimes very young girls who need the wigs.

Baggs, I hadn’t seen your post when I posted. My very best wishes for your daughter.

My 10 year old gd donated her lovely long hair to princess trust recently. It was a kind and thoughtful thing to do and we are very proud of her.

Baggs I too wish your daughter well.

Long hair can look lovely but it needs a lot more care and attention. Anyway, she can always grow it again if she feels like a change. It's great that young women are donating their hair to such a good cause.

Bags, sending hugs and good wishes to your dear daughter xx

tanith try and save your tears for the poor souls who will benefit from your granddaughter's kind donation, and be proud of her generous heart ?

What a wonderful thing to do.
I'm quite moved. The girls who receive the wigs will be so grateful.
A really sisterly thing to do ?‍❤️‍?

Be proud of her - very proud!

My GD is 4, her hair is beautiful and is long enough for her to sit on. I'd happily cut it short if it was up to me. Poor little soul hates having it brushed, hates having it tied up and if it isn't tied up it gets in her food and ends up a real mess.

I would rather my GD was having a carefree happy time than spending hours every week being tortured with her hair being brushed and I don't even want to go to hair washing.

I'm sure your GD will look fabulous and how lovely that others will benefit.

Baggs Your daughter has my sympathy. As someone who has had no hair for 12 years (thankfully not through illness), I can tell you it's been very hard. I found all the talk about people with perfectly nice hair complaining when hairdressers were closed very distressing.

I could sit on my hair before I had it cut when I was about 14, my mother had it made into what was called a switch, which I still have. (I had never been to a hairdressers before, and was very impressed by the individual wood panelled cubicles). It was ‘treated’ so that it is just the same now, more than 60 years later. A couple of years ago I did offer it to the charity, but as it had already been treated they could not accept it.

Over the years it has been a useful guide as to what colour my hair should be, but now it is grey, no longer relevant.

I did the same, felt liberated. It soon grew though, now it’s to my shoulders, time to get it cut. Great girl, what she did will help others so much.

its hair. It will grow back. not worth crying about
