PCC Cosmetology Department selling hair extensions for two good causes

Posted

PUEBLO — You can have longer and more colorful hair for two good causes in Pueblo. The Cosmetology Department at Pueblo Community College (PCC) is selling purple and pink hair extensions for $5.

The money from the sales will go toward organizations that help with breast cancer and domestic violence awareness.

"It makes the kids feel good to give back and to do something when someone sits down and is like, 'my mom had breast cancer, and I want to get a pink extension for my mom' or, you know, 'I'm a survivor of domestic violence. I want to get a purple extension or purple nails.'" said Pamela Graham, a breast cancer survivor.

You can get the extensions from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday until the end of October at the PCC Cosmetology Department.

If extensions aren't for you, they are also collecting donations.
