Hair loss and Cancer treatment event
This November, Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust, in collaboration with C&Hair, invite you to take part in our event on cancer treatment with a focus on afro hair loss.
If you have concerns about cancer and its effects on the community, or if you are curious about the potential risk factors, this event is designed to demystify and guide you through all your questions.
What to Expect
During this session, we will cover a range of important topics, including:
- Common myths surrounding cancer
- Treatment options and their effects
- Challenges associated with cancer-related hair loss, particularly for those with Afro-textured hair
- Insights into wigs, styling options, and products
- Scalp cooling methods that can help reduce hair loss during chemotherapy
Admission to the event is completely free! Refreshments and a Caribbean buffet will also be served.
This is a wonderful opportunity to hear from our experts in cancer care and afro-hair management, whether you have been directly affected, have concerns, or have a loved one who has been affected.
