Hilary Swank gave up her hair to be cut off by Oprah Winfrey for a charity cause.
Hilary Swank has had her hair cut off by
Oprah Winfrey for charity. The Oscar-winning actress had nine inches sheared off her shining locks to be made into a wig by Pantene Beautiful Lengths, a charity which supports women who have lost their hair through cancer treatment.
Hilary, 33, said: "I've been growing it for the last six months so I could donate it. I've been taking a lot of vitamins and taking really good care of it, knowing that it would go to a woman in need." Oprah brandished scissors and a ruler as she chopped off the '
Million Dollar Baby' star's hair for her Great American Haircut show which will air in the US tomorrow (02.11.07).
The talk show host said: "It has taken months to get to this moment. It involves a two-time Academy Award winner, a sharp object, and me!" Hilary had been preparing for the big chop for some time.
She said earlier this month: "I've been growing my hair for months, so it's super long and super healthy
I've gotten my conditioning treatments every four weeks. Everyone is commenting on my hair and how it's long and pretty and healthy and shiny." As another feature in the special show 100 viewers received 100 makeovers in one hour.
