Acme is cutting all his hair off for charity... Details within!

Akagi · 10 Apr 2021 at 18:13

Some of you have met me and will know this already, but I have pretty long thick (like me) dark brown hair. I have had my hair quite long ever since I was about 13 years old, which believe it or not is 12 years ago! Before that I always had a 6 & 4 buzz cut.

With the news that barber shops should be reopening soon, I have made a big decision...

I'm cutting my hair shorter than it has been for my entire life!

Donating 30 - 40cm of hair to The Little Princess Trust (who make wigs for children who have lost their hair due to cancer or other illness), and I am going for a 4 & 2 buzz-cut!

You can donate (money) here:

You are of course not obliged to donate anything, but any and all donations will mean the world to me, and The Little Princess Trust!

You can read about the charity and what they do, here:

It can be a hard decision to make shaving your hair off, so well done on finding the courage to do it for a good cause

Donated

Donated, if only to encourage you to get a haircut you hippy.

Also highly recommend getting clippers and doing it yourself, more sustainable to DIY :cool:

Have you actually asked the kids if they want your hair? Looks a bit greasy..

Hahaha, thats an old photo from when I was at college, I thought it was fitting!

I can assure you it is lovely and thick and shiny and clean now.

I see a few names cropping up that I don't recognise, if thats any of you, thanks

Progress is looking great buddy!

I'd have donated my 18 month beard when I cut it off this week, but something tells me little girls won't need it

Nearly £400 with gift aid!

You were supposed to be turning that into a merkin for @Bouton Aide

I prefer the plucked chicken look and he will wear it how I tell him to wear it, or he's sleeping on the sofa :mad:

I forgot to update the thread, I now have horrifically short hair and my head is cold.
