Boy, 5, has haircut for the first time in 3 years – and donates 17-inch mane to charity
A BOY has had his hair cut for the first time in three years – and donated his 17-inch mane to charity.
Dominic Longworth, five, was given a chop by grandfather and retired barber Alan in Fordingbridge, Hants.
The Batman fan raised more than £300 for The Little Princess Trust which will turn his lengthy locks into wigs for children suffering from cancer.
It left mum of six Miriam Longworth, 42, who was diagnosed with bowel cancer in May, “beaming with pride”.
She said of Sunday’s styling: “Dominic finally decided the time had come last week after not wanting a haircut since having a slight trim aged two.
“He was brilliant throughout and sat still smiling for 45 minutes.
“It made me so emotional knowing he was doing it for a good cause.
“Now he’s so excited to surprise all his friends at school.
“It’s sticking up at all ends due to being naturally curly so we’ve offered him some gel.
“We also need to get used to it as I’m still having to do a double take.
“But we’re beyond proud of him.”
