A mum with hair you could almost sit on has shaved it all off to raise money for Twins Trust!

Angie Barr, from Kirriemuir, Scotland, shaved off her luscious locks because she wanted to support good causes following her wedding in April and the birth of her twins.

“After a long time going through fertility treatment I am so lucky to have wonderful twins Lewis and Faye who are two-and-a-half and keep me incredibly busy,” said Angie who works as a clerical officer for the local council.

“I’ve had a lot of information and support fromTamba, so I decided I wanted to give something back.

“I’d been growing my hair for more than two years and thought a head shave would be a great and fun way of raising some money.

“And I was also able to donate my hair to The Little Princess Trust who provide real hair wigs to children and young people with hair loss due to cancer treatment or other conditions, which was suggested by the Hair Lab in town who shaved my head.

“My friends and family have been really supportive, although my wife Mandi has said I look like ‘Oor Wullie’ now! 

“I was a bit worried at how the twins would take it with them still being really young, but Lewis wasn't fazed at all and Faye was fascinated when she saw it.”

You can still donate to Angie’s fundraising page here.
