00:00 Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the Hotpoint website.
00:04 Whether male or female, hair removal is one of the most terrifying side effects of cancer diagnosis.
00:11 But in fact, cancer is not the cause of hair loss.
00:15 It is chemotherapy.
00:16 Because the drugs used in the treatment process will destroy the good cells in the body,
00:21 which will affect the normal growth of hair, causing hair loss.
00:25 Although hair loss will not cause physiological pain,
00:28 it will have a certain impact on the patient's emotions.
00:31 In order to prevent cancer patients from enduring the eyes of the outside world,
00:35 the boss of a hair salon in Nairobi, Kenya,
00:38 provides free hair for female cancer patients,
00:41 so that they can be more confident and more active in their anti-cancer life.
00:46 Hair removal is one of the most common side effects of cancer patients after chemotherapy.
00:52 Looking at the original dense hair,
00:54 it falls off day by day,
00:56 which has a serious impact on the psychology of female patients.
00:59 Some patients even said that they lost their friends while losing their hair.
01:03 Now that the hair has fallen off,
01:06 my friends and I are starting to see it as a sign of cancer.
01:12 I see people taking care of me.
01:14 When I lost my hair,
01:16 I didn't feel like going to a barber shop,
01:20 because I don't belong to that place.
01:23 In order to help these sisters and sisters who are suffering from hair loss due to chemotherapy,
01:29 the hairdresser of a hair salon in Nairobi, Kenya,
01:32 provides free hair for cancer patients.
01:35 And the preparation process is not sloppy at all.
01:37 The hairdressers are very careful in styling different types of hair,
01:41 because they know that this is not just a simple hair style for cancer patients.
01:46 I like to give them a second chance,
01:49 just trying to remind them how beautiful they are,
01:52 because sometimes it really affects their self-esteem.
01:55 So they know when they walk into this salon,
01:57 they know they'll come out feeling fabulous and looking fabulous.
02:01 Cancer patients come here not only to get free hair,
02:04 but also to get a nice makeup done for them,
02:07 so they don't have to worry about the eyes of the outside world,
02:10 and can face life more positively.
02:13 Since the start of this project,
02:15 the hairdresser has helped at least 700 women to have a new life.
