"Beyoncé's $500K Grant Boosts Cosmetology Industry"

Beyoncé and her haircare line, Cécred, along with her charity foundation BeyGOOD, will be funding a $500,000 annual grant for cosmetology schools and salons, with the fund being dispersed across scholarships and salon business grants in five cities. Beyoncé shared that her upbringing in her mother's salon inspired her career as a performer and her bold experimentation with hair, and she revealed that cutting her hair in 2013 was a deliberate act of rebellion against societal expectations, marking the beginning of her audacious decision-making in her life and career.
