- 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
Thank you Nicola, you have delivered a moving account of your own experience and given a great insight into this topic. Well done.

Such a powerful story - thank you for sharing this and please continue on your crusade!
Thank you Nicola - such a beautiful, moving talk. You show such understanding and empathy in your own vulnerability :-)
I seen this talk live and it was really moving. I think the title is wrong as the title comes up on the screen if you continue to watch the video: Beyond Appearances- the deeper connection between identity and hair loss.
It’s a shame that the incorrect title is overshadowing the power of this message.
Amazing work and thank you for raising awareness and supporting people ❤
Thank you. Nicola blew the room away on the night. The published title is a little ambiguous.

I saw this live and it was a brilliant talk.
Thank you Nicola for sharing your story and the AMAZING work you do helping thousands of people with hair loss.
Having been in the audience and heard this first hand, I’m struggling to understand the title, as it doesn’t seem to reflect what you were talking about, but I’m glad the message can at least be shared with the world!
So inspiring Nicola ❤
we should learn to love ourselves without feeling the need to change for others, that's our true identity and dignity, nor we should fear inevitable changes, losing life because of hairs is egoism, I'm bald and my mom is doing chemioterapy, we laughed about me being ready to support her with the same haircut, I can't imagine someone choosing hair over life experiences, friends and lovers, that's a suicide out of lucidity in my eyes, and makes the topic presented here extremely important to save lifes unexpectedly for me.
A fantastic talk on a very important and often overlooked topic - the link between hair and personal identity. Nicola's work has obviously already transformed the lives of many. 👏👏👏
It is interesting to hear talk and young we feel so much fo❤r hear loss🌍🙏

I NEEDED THIS
Truly amazing talk! As a cancer survivor a lot of my friends had to navigate hair loss, and the work that Nicola does is inspiring ❤
Powerful and informative 🖤
Whether it's hair loss, a disfigurement, or a disability, the way society reacts to another human with any one of these issues could make all the difference to how a person feels.. Sadly, most people don't care, most schools, hospitals, work places, social places don't put in the work and understanding to make those of who struggle, to make their acceptance a little bit easier. It's not rocket science, yet society as a whole remains stuck and people with these issues continue to feel bad and hide. What this woman is doing is amazing and incredibly helpful and beneficial for both the person and society.
"Its not just hair!" said Samson.
The power and symbolism of hair goes back thousands of years. It's not just a female vanity thing. Excellent presentation.
Just we need is to strengthen our will power with the flow of positive thoughts and life becomes easy although there are lot of negativities surrounding us but we should learn from them and being like a clay pot.
A wonderfully moving talk, Nicola, made more so by the intense emotion in your voice. I can understand those who lose their being affected psychologically, while in the same way I can understand those who say "It's just hair". People don't attach the same importance to the same things. You pronounced the word "femininity" in relation to hair. Femininity is one of the main qualities I look for in a woman, but for me the symbol "par excellence" of femininity are heeled shoes, and I can see that in this field you are the stiletto heels equivalent of a world champion or an Olympic gold medallist. But whatever, the fact is that you are a stunningly beautiful woman worthy of being crowned Miss World or Miss Universe - and not every woman can have that piece of luck. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Take The Journey!
Thanks for continuing updates. I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $30,100 per week even though I barely trade myself.
I'm in a similar situation where should I look to increase income? Do you have any advice? What did you do? Thank you
Well explained. Thank you for bringing up this video. Financial education is indeed required for more than 70% of society in the country as very few are literate on the subject, thanks to Mrs Olivia Harlow the lady you ones recommended
Sounds familiar, I have heard her names on several occasions.. And both her success stories on wall street journey!
Alright, thanks for the recommendation, but how do I reach her?
Trading without professional guide.... Huh, I laugh you because you'll remain where you are or even make huge losses that will stop you from trading. This has beeb one of the biggest problems to new traders.
I know how it’s feel being a bald person cause nowadays no matter what you do, people will always judge you with your looks 😢😢
That's the reality of modern society
Shiver in voice but wisdom lot of it
Angelina jolie!!!
So, do you want to maximize hair loss????
I'm so sorry you don't understand how language works
@@BebbaDubbs enlighten us brother
@@BebbaDubbs Ur trying to be clever but failing, because the title is phrased ambiguously. Your own comment actually applies to you xD
What's her nationality?
Sounds like they need today’s sponsor… Keeps
You give me?
How to stop minimising the impact of hair loss.
hot
1st comment 😊
Think about us guys, as hair loss is generally a male issue. Glad the Cancer cleared off
It's a disservice to me. I'm sorry for her trauma, but she has a full head of hair. I don't. And it's been that way since fourth grade. Bring me someone with thin break off hair.
She owns a wig company so it’s most likely a wig
Then it's even more offensive
iT'S VIDEOS LIKE THIS THAT MAKE ME WANNA PULL THE HAIR OUT OFMY HEAD ;)
Welcome to mans would.
Is the title really: "How to *stop minimizing* hair loss"?!
Yeah 🤦
Smh
That's what I too noticed when the notification came🤔
I'm so sorry that you don't understand how language works.
Yes as in acting like it's not a big issue when it is
Misleading title as a male suffering hair loss I was excited to watch this very disappointing
Oh look, the world's first woman to figure out how a majority of men over 35 feel.
lol. Why is this a Ted Talk. It’s just hair. lol.
Shave your head then?
@@Dezzreck indeed
@@madisonbadger9454 did you?
Have you actually watched it? You might learn something if you do. It’s a very insightful presentation
@@SabineStarr no. I have better things to do than to watch a video about hairstyles.
I have a skullet of dreads. And no fucks given.
That's vanity and weakness. I started shaving my head mud twenties because I was going bald. Who cares what other people think? This is just a how to video for being weak.
The fact that you shave your head instead of just letting it be is plenty of evidence that you are vain yourself. You care about what other people think, if you didn't you would not be wasting your time shaving your head. You protest to much, its the person who accuses someone of being weak that is most often the weakest.
