Aberdare girl, 11, donates afro hair after six-year wait

Feb 16,2020 5:25 am

" It feels really light on my head! I hope this inspires people to give money and donate their Hair . "

Poppy's recent haircut was a long time coming.

In fact, she spent More Than half her life growing her Hair - All In anticipation of this visit to The Hairdresser .

From the Age Of five, Poppy had wanted to donate her Hair to charity.

She had previously been told That Wig -makers could not work with afro Hair as it was too delicate.

She Said she was " over the moon" to finally be donating, thanks to a new technique which meant she was finally able to give her afro Hair to the Little Princess Trust.

Poppy, from Aberdare, Rhondda Cynon Taf, said she just wanted " to help and be generous".

" It's important to donate afro Hair because it's a big part of people's identity, " she added.

But it has not just been about donating Hair . While her Hair was growing, Poppy and her parents started fundraising for The Charity and have raised More Than £2,750.

The Little Princess Trust provides wigs for children who have lost Hair while undergoing cancer treatment or for other reasons.

Hand-tying an individual Wig can take between 30 and 60 hours and sometimes requires up to 12 or 14 individual Hair donations.

Previously, The Charity made afro-styled wigs from European straight Hair , styled into a tight curl.

It had been unable to find a Wig manufacturer able to work with donations from black and black mixed race people. In the usual Wig -making process, afro Hair would easily break.

But in 2021, after working with London-based Wig -makers Raoul, a wefting method was developed, which means The Charity can now accept afro Hair .

Chief executive of the Little Princess Trust, Phil Brace, said: " We wanted to just give That extra choice and ensure That we could give That heritage Wig - That heritage afro Hair .

" It's always bittersweet because we'd rather not be having to supply these wigs at All .

" There are enough challenges with Hair loss for a young person, without having to worry about whether they get The Wig they want. "

He added That The Charity had appealed for more afro Hair donations and described Poppy's donation as a " selfless act of kindness".

Hearing The News That Poppy could At Last donate her Hair was " really special, " according to her mum, Beki Lee-Burrowes.

" To know That a child suffering from cancer, who's having a horrible Time In their life, for them to have access to Hair That represents them and their identity… being part of That is really important to us, " She Said .

" She's definitely a 'Hair -o'! "

Mum, Jessica Lee-Burrowes said she hoped Her Daughter 's story would lead to more people donating Hair .

" It just feels so overwhelming and we're just so proud of her and the fact That she stuck to it. "

This is not The End of The Road for Poppy, though. She Said she was ready to grow her Hair and donate again.

" I can't wait to do this again in The Future , " She Said .

" I'm really proud of what I did today and I'm really excited. "
