'The charity stayed all day and helped the children so much by holding special chats with everybody.'
Money is being raised on Virgin moneygiving , with Mrs Bailey sitting £40 away from her £500 target.
The hair will be posted to the Little Princess Trust, where it will be given to children going through chemotherapy.
