How I did it: I'm 15 and in my last year of high school and I wanted to raise money for an orphange for children whose parents were killed in the Tsunami in Sri-Lanka so I decided to shave my head, which I did on Friday!
I decided to do it a month ago, and that time went so quickly! I did it at school in a lunchtime in a hall packed full of people, with me on the stage. My friends cut my hair really short first and then finished it off with the clippers. It was a really strange experience, and it was a bit of a blur really, everybody was gathering around me, cheering, asking questions and wanting to touch my head! I was expecting people to be negative about it, but everyone was so supportive and kind, although there's always the odd mean person.
It feels nice too, my hair's soft and low maintenence, although a little cold.
My advice to anyone wanting to do it, is to just do it! Yeah, it's a bit scary but it's worth it, and if you do it for charity you'll be able to raise loads of money!
