A woman has had her haircut for the first time since 1994 to raise money for charity.

Elaine Mayes, 56, decided to have her 1.4m (55in) locks cut to raise money for Cancer Research UK.

The hair will be donated to a charity that makes wigs for children who have lost theirs through illness.

Ms Mayes, originally from Bacton, in Norfolk but who now lives in Aberdeen, said she felt "really chuffed" with her new haircut.

She added that she has a good selection of hats to help keep her head warm.
