A King’s Lynn hairdressing student has donated her hair to give a child suffering from hair loss a real hair wig, free of charge. Lauren Flowers, 18, from Walpole St Peter, is a hairdressing student at the King’s Lynn campus. She said: “I decided to have my long hair cut off for the Little Princess Trust because I wanted to donate my hair to a princess. My new hairstyle does feels odd and will take some getting used to, but I like it! I want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me with donations; I’ve already had over £250 in sponsorship money and the Just Giving page will stay open online, so please donate if you can.” The Little Princess Trust has been helping children across the UK for over a decade. Over that time, the organisation has given away over 4,000 free real hair wigs. They are now in the process of identifying suitable research projects to fund, which will focus on finding kinder treatments for children with cancer. Lauren said: “I have been lucky enough to have very long hair and would love to help a little princess feel what it's like to have hair to play with. I am training to become a hairdresser, and would love to raise as much money as I can for the charity.” Lauren’s classmates have got behind her, organising a bake sale, non-school uniform day and raffle to boost the donation. This has so far raised £80 on top of Lauren’s sponsorship.
