BOLTON HILL, Md. — A local salon owner's mission to help students facing grooming barriers has blossomed into a community-supported initiative that's changing lives one haircut at a time.

The Crownivity Crown Project emerged after viewers responded to a story about Tina Moore, owner of Capelli Hair Services, who helped a homeless student whose unkempt hair had kept him out of school for two weeks due to fear of bullying. After Moore shared her desire to help other students facing similar barriers, community members donated money and products to make the project possible.

"It came to fruition quicker than I thought. It was only about two, three weeks ago that we had like, the first interview and now it has birthed into this, so it's amazing," Moore said.
