Amber Cox-Tomlinson, 16, had most of her hair cut off at The Cutting Cupboard, in Coningsby.

The QEGS pupil, who is a member of the Coningsby and Tattershall LEOS club, donated 25 inches of hair to The Little Princess Trust.

Amber is no stranger to good deeds, as five years ago she decided to donate her hair and £1,000 she raised to the charity.

Speaking after her recent hair cut, Amber said: “I kind of forget what it feels like to have long hair. I’m pleasantly surprised with how it looks.”

Amber’s mum Amanda said: “I am so proud of her, she is amazing.”

A spokesman from Coningsby and Tattershall LEOS club said: “Amber looks amazing and we are all so proud of her.”
