Event planned to benefit Locks of Love

You can take some off the top for a good cause at the fifth annual “It’s Just Hair” cut-a-thon May 23 in Alpharetta. The event benefits Locks of Love and promotes awareness about alopecia areata, an autoimmune disease that causes hair to fall out. Organizer Diane Cooley said she began the drive after her daughter was diagnosed with alopecia when she was 3.

The event is from 1-8 p.m. at Taylor Brooks Salon, 11550 Jones Bridge Road.
