Hairstylist Offers To Style & 'Slay' Student With Cancer For Free For Graduation, Wins Hearts
A hairstylist who decided to help a student suffering from cancer for her convocation ceremony is winning hearts on social media. A 24-year-old student, Taleah Javon from Austin posted a heartfelt message on her Twitter account where she urged an affordable stylist to help her with a wig.
She posted ¡®Please RT. I¡¯m going through chemo & my hair has been falling out like crazy ? I graduate next month (I go to school online) & the ceremony is in Orlando, I need a lace front wig installed to look as natural as possible. Any affordable stylists available on March 22nd? ??¡¯

If you would like to support donate hair, wigs, services etc...send me a dm. All $ donations go towards my medical expenses (prescriptions, co pays, chemo, biological treatment, oxygen rental etc)

Javon is graduating in March with BSc in Psychology and obviously wanted to look great on her graduation day. However, with the chemotherapy going on for treating cancer her hair started falling and she looked for a hair stylist for an affordable wig.
Javon suffers from Sickle Cell Disease and Lupus and attends school online. After reading her tweet people started naming some affordable but professional stylists. But one stylist from Mason, Ohio went beyond her call of duty and not just offered to help her but also said she would fly down to Austin to style her.
¡®Check your dm love, I just booked my flight to Orlando & I¡¯m coming to slay you for FREE! See you soon ?,¡¯ wrote Twitter user Imaslayyobae.
