District closed for Independence Day
Students in LaQuita Love’s cosmetology classes at Albany High School spent Wednesday making hot pink clip-on hair extensions that they’ll sell through the end of October to benefit The Wig Project.
Starting Thursday, the clip-on extensions will be on sale for $5 each outside the cafeteria during all lunch periods and in the cosmetology salon throughout the day. You can even get the extension put in!
Besides making the extensions, students styled each other’s hair with the extensions. They’ll be great ambassadors for their work!
The Wig Project is a new initiative of the cosmetology program where students make human hair wigs for people affected by hair loss due to chemotherapy, alopecia and other health conditions. Cosmetology students and Love are kicking off the program this month, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Check out some Facebook photos from their work. (You don't need a Facebook account to see the pictures linked in the highlighted text. A window may appear that says, “To see more from Albany City Schools on Facebook, log on or create an account,” but you can dismiss it by clicking “not now.”)
