A kiwi cafe owner will be spending a lot less on hair care products in the future after he agreed to lop his luscious locks in the name of charity.
Ron Forrester from New Plymouth has a "special love for the rock'n'roll hairstyle" according to the Dominion Post, having worn it very long (pictured below) for more than 25 years.
However after discovering the good works done by the nearby Taranaki Retreat, which offers a safe space for people struggling with issues, Forrester decided to host a fundraiser at his Cafe Green Door, with a ceremonial haircut the main attraction.
He's having some second thoughts, saying "I love having long hair...people still laugh at me for having a 70s ponytail but I don't care, it's who I am".
However he's happy to lose his hair in a good cause.
"It's the only thing I've got that I love deeply and that I can give away," he said.

A British collector is selling a roll of Nazi era toilet paper almost 80 years after it was first issued by the German Third Reich's Wehrmacht armed forces.
The auction item featuring the Nazi imperial eagle is described as an "unopened roll of Edelweiss brand Klosettpapier (toilet paper) in remarkable unused condition".
It goes under the hammer later this month with an estimated price range of 80-120.
