Cosmetology students at Nashoba Valley Technical High School hosted professionals from the Massachusetts Department of Children & Families and other agencies to educate foster families and children with textured hair on how to care for their curls. The students did braids, coils and twists for kids of all ages while the foster families learned more about how to care for textured hair and practiced techniques on mannequins.
