A Catrine youngster is gearing up to chop off her locks as her target is reached for a worthy charity.
Gracie Lyle is set to take off around 12 inches of her hair, which will be donated to Little Princess Trust.
The charity provides real hair wigs, free of charge, to children and young people who have lost their own hair through cancer treatment or to other conditions such as alopecia.

Five-year-old came up with the idea when discussing her back-to-school haircut with mum, Tracy.
With the return to school fast-approaching, Gracie will cut her hair for the charity on Monday, August 12.
As well as donating her hair to the charity, Gracie also set a target of raising £750, which has surpassed.
This amount of money will allow the charity to have the funds to create one of the wigs for the children in need.
Gracie's mum, dad and three brothers are all full of pride for the youngster's decision to do this.
Mum, Tracy said: "It’s amazing for a five-year-old to be so aware of things like this.
"We’re so proud of her because she loves her hair and she loves putting it into different styles and things like that, so we’ve had to tell her how much of her hair she’s actually cutting off.
"Gracie is absolutely buzzing for it, because she knows she’s going to help."
