Little Princess Trust: Watch as Sheffield girl, 8, donates 40cm of hair in her first ever hair cut

Eight-year-old Heidi Asbery, from Oughtibridge in Sheffield, had never had her hair cut before this week.

However, on Tuesday, she sat in one of the chairs at Hairs & Graces in Worrall, Sheffield, to get 40cm of hair cut off her long locks for the Little Princess Trust.

Heidi was inspired by her mum, Sarah, who underwent treatment for cancer in April 2020 - often alone in hospital due to restrictions relating to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In the lead up to Heidi’s big chop, the family had been raising money on JustGiving - finally hitting their £2,100 target on the day of Heidi’s haircut.

The Little Princess Trust is a charity providing free real hair wigs to children and young people, up to 24-years-old, who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or other conditions.
