Horseshoe Bend’s Zana McWhorter donates hair to help kids

Fifth-grader Zana McWhorter took before and after pictures on her first haircut. She had 10 inches cut off of her 24-inch hair to give to Children With Hair Loss, a non-profit organization that provides human hair replacements to ailing children.

Zana McWhorter’s blonde hair has been a source of pride since she was born 10 years ago and until Tuesday it had never been cut.

The fifth-grader from Horseshoe Bend decided that it was time to get her hair trimmed and help a good cause at the same time. With a day off school for the weather, her mother Wendy pulled the 24-inch locks into two ponytails and carefully clipped about 10 inches off and placed them in a ziplock bag.
