When it comes to hair loss, it’s time to think beyond cosmetic appearances. Based on scientific research as well as personal experiences as a hairdresser diagnosed with breast cancer aged 36, Nicola discusses self-esteem, wellbeing, confidence, mental health and quality of life as she uncovers the hidden and far-reaching impacts of hair loss. Her talk reveals emotional, psychological and societal dimensions, and the deep connection between hair and identity. From the stigma that surrounds hair loss to the innovative solutions that offer hope and healing, Nicola explores the journey of those experiencing hair loss and the ways in which society can be more compassionate and supportive. Nicola describes her job as ‘a hairdresser for one day a week and the rest of the week she tries to change the world for people with cancer and hair loss’. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
