BRAVE Sylvia Brace threw caution to the wind when she decided to have all her locks shaved off for charity.

Mrs Brace, 60, left Welhams barbers in St Botolph’s Street, Colchester, with a totally bald head yesterday after it took just five minutes for her shoulder-length hair to be cut.

She went under the clippers to raise money for the British Heart Foundation, after her husband died 14 years ago from a sudden heart attack.

Barber Adrian Swaisland said: “She was smiling when she left. She looked like Demi Moore, and was pleased to be doing it for charity.”
