A Hucknall woman had been growing her hair for three years so she could donate it to charity. Kayte Baxter from Hucknall, living in Shepshed, cut 14 inches off her hair for the Little Princesses Trust.
The charity use hair donations to turn into wigs for children with cancer to help restore their confidence and identity. Kayte, 40, set up a fundraiser alongside her colleague Nabila, who had previously cut her hair.
It costs £550 to create real hair wigs but the pair raised 410% more than planned. £2,260 has been raised so far and Kayte's employer Captial One will match the donations.
