A321 flight attendant reported experiencing a fume event in flight resulting in health issues.

Narrative:

My crew and I experienced a fume event. While in-flight; the flight attendant #2 and I started to experience headaches and nausea. The flight attendant #2 reported that she detected an odor while in-flight that made her dizzy and once on the ground while deplaning; I could smell an odor that I could only identify as a type of chemical smell. The flight attendant #2 described what we had experienced to the pilot; I am not sure if it was the captain or first officer; and he told her that it sounded exactly like a fume event. Once off the plane; my nausea subsided but I still had an intense headache.
