A woman who fits wigs for breast cancer patients has dyed her hair bright pink to raise money for a breast cancer charity.
Trichologist Sally-Ann Tarver is more used to warning people against dying their hair bright colours but decided to go against her own advice for the good cause.
She took the plunge on Friday, October 32 which is Wear it Pink day. Ms Tarver, who works at Cotswold Trichology, in Port Street, Evesham, said: “I felt I needed to do more than just wear a pink T-Shirt to work on Wear it Pink day.
“In jest someone suggested I dye my hair pink. Trichologists are not well known for dying their hair bright colours, in fact most Trichologists would normally advise against it.”
Ms Tarver opted to take the plunge for Breast Cancer Now, which is the charity that promotes Wear it Pink day.
She said: “We had the evening at my clinic with family and friends laughing at my expense throughout the whole process.
“It was worth it as I have currently raised around £550 for BCN and think I may be able to push it up a little further yet before I hand my cheque in.
“Breast cancer is a devastating disease which affects one in eight women; so I am proud to have done something to help raise money for one of the UK’s biggest breast cancer charities.”
