Callum's long hair before he had it cut

Callum McGill, 33, has been growing his hair for the last three years with the intention of growing it long enough so that when he got it cut he could donate it to the Little Princess Trust.

The charity provide real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people who may have lost their hair through cancer treatments and other illnesses.

Callum, who works for a family-run, off-grid fuel business in Bridgnorth, said: "I always wanted to try having long hair and I thought if I do grow it, my end goal would be to eventually have it cut and donate it to the Little Princess Trust.

"We managed to get 15 inches of good usable hair."
