A four-year-old girl who wouldn’t get a hair cut changed her mind and pledged her hair to charity after seeing child cancer patients on TV.Odelle Brown, of Prism Heights, Southampton, said: “They didn’t have any hair. My sister felt sad, she almost cried. I was happy because I give my hair to them.”Odelle’s hair has been sent to the charity Locks of Love, which fashions donations into hairpieces for North American children who have lost their own hair to illness.The child’s father, Kevin Brown, said: “It really was a case of ‘out of the mouths of babes’. Odelle came up with it all by herself. She saw these kids on television and then came to me and said, Daddy, I want to cut my hair off and give it to them.”Odelle’s mother Anny said that, until then, “nobody could touch her hair”.She added: “I used to tease I would cut her hair, and Odelle would get so mad.”Grandmother Shirley Perinchief said the family had been amazed.Their donation was arranged by Alison Williams at Headway hair and body, in Washington Mall, Hamilton.“We went in with Odelle and had a little adventure.“They washed Odelle’s hair, held it together with a clip, put it in a bag and sent it off. And they said in about four weeks, Locks of Love will send Odelle a certificate for it.”Odelle said: “Miss Alison cut my hair and I kept still. I felt happy.”Odelle’s older sister, Lisbeth, eight, said her sister looked good with short hair. According to Mr Brown, their youngest, two-year-old Kevany, will donate his hair in a few years, once it grows long enough.Asked how children at Warwick Preschool reacted when they saw her without her long hair, Odelle said: “Everybody’s said it’s pretty.”“What she did makes me very happy,” Mrs Brown said.“I tell her now she looks like Dora the Explorer.”l See Editorial, Page 4
