A CREDITON teenager has donated her long locks to the charity Little Princess Trust.

The Little Princess Trust provides real hair wigs free-of-charge to children and young adults up to the age of 24, who have sadly lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other illnesses.

Charlotte Adams (14), who has always had long hair, said that she wanted to help the charity which helped her big sister, Bethanie, who sadly died from cancer just after she was born.

Charlotte was able to donate 16 inches of hair to the charity, her hair having been cut by Jacob Oakes, hairdresser, of Nikki Blanchford Hair in Crediton.

Her previously waist-length hair is now very much shorter but Charlotte hopes people will still recognise her.
