YOUNG Florence Self from Langford Budville has had her long locks lopped in aid of a good cause.

Florence, eight, had 11 inches of hair cut off in aid of the Little Princess Trust, a charity which provides real hair wigs free of charge for children going through cancer treatment or suffering from alopecia.

Florence, who attends the village school, decided to help the charity after watching a programme about cancer.

Marika Rowswell from The Hair Lounge in Brooks Place, Wellington, cut her hair.
