She said: “I always liked having long dreadlocks but in the summer my head felt very hot and heavy. I got them trapped in car doors and would trip over them if I bent down but I was terrified at the thought of losing them. I’m still getting used to not having them – it feels strange. I do miss them now but my head is much lighter and I have had a great reaction from everyone.”
Mother-of-one Paula, of Teal Close, Offerton, made the big decision to lose her dreadlocks after her friend Anita Swan died from leukaemia. She said: “When Anita was alive we had a conversation and she said never cut your hair for anyone but you and that stuck with me. She really inspired me so I did it for her and also for me. I think she would be really pleased.”
Paula, who works for a print management company in Cheadle, collected £1,600 for The Christie hospital and Liverpool Sunflowers. She hopes to raise more by auctioning off her locks. “My family really like my new look,” said Paula.

So the deceased friend told her not to cut her hair for anyone but herself, so she cut it for the friend (and for herself)?
Who on Earth would want to buy that filthy bundle of dreads, anyway?
Some hair-fetishist perhaps....?
My god, she looks human again.
Here's a use for it:

But they won't buy the hair. Especially not dreadlocks from a single woman.
True. She'd have to donate it. It would be a way to use them for a good cause, though. I'm not convinced anyone would pay for them.
