A kind-hearted 11-year-old boy who hasn't cut his hair for three years is set to donate 24in of his hair for a very worthy cause. Iolo, from Barry, started growing his hair during the Covid lockdowns and it is now nearly long enough to sit on.
But now he has decided it is time to go for the chop and donate his long locks to the Little Princess Trust. The charity create wigs for children and young people who have experienced hair loss through cancer treatment or other conditions. The year six pupil also wanted to use this as a chance to raise some money for Make 2nds Count in memory of his mum’s friend Emily who died last year following a diagnosis of secondary breast cancer.
He said: “Lots of people assume I’m a girl but I just shrug and tell them I’m a boy with long hair. It doesn’t bother me. I like my hair. It’s majestic but I think this is as long as it will go.”
