Kerry Pearson's delighted partner has paid $101 for her to lose her dreadlocks as part of the Sulphur City Steam Rollers' Trade Me fundraiser.
Ms Pearson, 25, from Rotorua auctioned off the right to decide whether she should keep her long dreaded locks or get rid of them. She said
her partner seized his chance to see her dreadlock-free for the first time in five years, coming out the winner when bidding closed on Monday night.
"He had a $150 autobid so he got a bargain in the end," Ms Pearson said. "I just hope he doesn't turn around and say actually I liked the dreads more than the 'fro'."
As promised, she will remove the dreadlocks within two weeks however, her partner's decision wasn't popular with everyone.
"He is copping some grief from my friends who wanted them to stay."
