Although the result shocked her, an 87-year-old woman was happy to shave her hair as a fundraiser for the Heart Foundation.
Edda Poynting had her hair shaved off last Wednesday at Planet of Hair, who cut it for free. She says before the shave she did not really think about it and just thought "it's got to be done".
Edda did not know she would get such a shock once the shave was done, but it does not bother her.
She has some hats which she now dons around town, she says.
"You've got to make fun out of life."
