A caring eight-year-old West Lothian schoolgirl has had her long locks shorn to support children who are ill.

Willow Constance from Armadale had 13 inches cut from her hair and it’s for a great cause, as she’s donating it to the Little Princess Trust.

The Little Princess Trust provides wigs made from real hair, free of charge, to children and young people who have lost their own through cancer treatment or other conditions.

Eight-year-old Willow has proved a real super-hairo, also raising £1100 so far for the charity, via a JustGiving page.

Her super proud mum Melissa Potter, said: “She’s only ever had her hair trimmed before and was saying about getting her hair cut. She’d never heard of The Little Princess Trust before.

“She was wanting a couple of inches off but I mentioned The Little Princess Trust and she said, ‘Why don’t I get a lot of it off?’. And she decided to get 13 inches off.

“It was a big shock and she was crying at first but because she knows where it’s going to it made her feel better about it.

“She’s just used to having such long hair, and has only ever had it trimmed.

“Willow knows her hair will grow back anyway and she knows it’s going to a good cause.

“I’m really proud of her and I think she’s really proud of herself too, that she actually done it.

“She usually goes to the hairdresser’s but she wanted her granny Theresa to cut it at home for her. Her gran, who used to be a hairdresser, let her cut off the first section herself which I think really helped her.

“She didn’t was nervous and a bit scared, but really happy she’s done it.

Melissa told us that Willow, a pupil at St Anthony’s Primary, can’t believe how much she has managed to raise so far, with the online fundraiser set to remain open for the next week or so.

“I managed to get her a shout out on Forth One Radio and she was absolutely buzzing.

“She’s off school this week but can’t wait to go back next week and show everyone her new hair, a lot of her teachers donated.

“They were all really supportive.”
