Warning: we cannot be held responsible for what happens if you get involved with Plan International’s The Home Hairstyle Challenge.

But heck, what has anyone got to lose at a time like this. (Well, um, some chunks out of their fringe, actually, but in the grand scheme of things that feels pretty minor at the moment.)

This is an outrageously fun initiative from the charity, which has set up a Coronovirus: Children’s Emergency Appeal, to support children and communities impacted by coronavirus. The idea is that you literally let someone else loose on your hair – ideally your kids, but alternatively flatmates/parents/partners. Preferably for a haircut, but bunches in Dad’s hair will do.

In exchange, you donate what you WOULD have spent getting a professional to do the same thing to Plan International.

They’d also love you to post the results on social media, with the hashtage #homehairstyle-challenge – and trust us, we’ll be watching! Here are the accounts to tag: @PlanInternationalUK (Facebook), @planuk (Twitter) or @plan_UK (Instagram). For more info? Click here.

The great thing about hair…? It grows back!
