Girl dubbed 'Rapunzel' will for the first time cut her hair for charity

An 11-year-old British schoolgirl has never had her hair cut since birth, and it has grown to an impressive 3ft 6in reaching all the way down to her knees


But Aimee Chase, from Portchester, Hampshire, has now decided to have her first proper haircut for charity.


She will get just over two feet of it lopped off before she starts at secondary school this September.


"I'm going up to senior school and I want to do different things with my hair," the Sun quoted the junior school pupil as saying.

"It's going to feel weird because I have had long hair for so long and now it's going to be cut short," she added.

The plucky tween will donate her hair to raise money for cancer charities Macmillan Cancer Care and Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.

"At first I just thought that I would get it cut. But with so much hair, I don't want it to go to waste. I'm quite proud of giving it to somebody else who could use it," Chase said.

Mum Amanda, 43, added: "People often comment on the length of Aimee's hair. She's known at school as the girl with the long hair.

"I keep thinking I am going to get really emotional when she gets it all cut off. I'm quite proud of her for doing it and excited as well," the mom stated.
