A Dalbeattie Primary pupil is set to brave the shave to help two cancer charities.
Ten-year-old Nicole McMurtrie will have her locks cut in the summer to raise money for Cancer Research UK.
And the cut hair will be donated to The Little Princess Trust, which makes wigs for children who have lost their hair as a result of having cancer.
Nicole’s mum Kimberley said: “Her close friend and my dad’s neighbour, Catherine Johnston, died of cancer last October.
“She decided she wanted to do something. She spoke about this and I told her to think about it as she had to be sure.”
Nicole will have her hair cut on July 29 to allow it to grow longer for The Little Princess Trust – and also so she can be a bridesmaid at her uncle’s wedding.
