I am Fundraising for World's greatest shave

I first wished to donate my hair in year 7 after I had seen a girl shave her hair in primary school a few years prior and I was greatly inspired to do the same. After looking into it more, I had found out that if I wished to donate my hair for wig making, my hair wasn't allowed to be bleached. So I shaved all my hair off and started anew. That was July of 2021, since then I have been growing my hair out for the purpose of donating it. It took a while for me to feel comfortable in my hair, as it initially gave me a lot of gender dysphoria (being non-binary), but I learnt to love my hair. At the beginning of this year, I knew it was time to cut my hair, but I was attached (quite literally). But when I heard the school- BSSC- was doing World's Greatest Shave, I knew I couldn't hold it off any longer. Although I will miss my hair, I'm excited to shave it all off.

It is my pleasure to be a part of such a great cause and work alongside the other BSSC team members in cutting our hair.
