FIVE-year-old girl is set to donate her hair to the Little Princess Trust.

Currently measuring 29 inches, Gabriella will donate more than half her hair to be made into a wig for children suffering with cancer.

Gabriella's mum Sarah Bristow said: "Gabriella has been asking to cut her hair off for a long time, around two months but it's only in the last two weeks that I've actually considered it.

"An advert came on the television about children with no hair and she asked me why they had none and I explained.

"Then she asked me how they get it back and I explained about the wigs and she asked me if she could give them hers."

"They will put her hair in braids, cut it and then we will send it off to the Princess Trust along with the money she has raised to pay for the wig to be made."

Gabriella will cut her hair at 12pm July 21 at Rush hair salon, Basildon.
