My 10 year struggle with Trichotillomania by Jessica, 17, New York
Well to start, im 17 years old and I live in New York. For the last ten years ive been on a
Trichotillomania rollercoaster. It all started when i was seven. Sometimes i caught myself picking at my
eyelashes, and then eventually i started picking at my hair. It wasnt a serious problem . . . . well at
least until my parents got divorced and I got really stressed. My mom took me to all these doctors and
it helped for a little while, but not for long. Everyone told me to "just stop" but nobody realised how
hard that is, id be pulling my hair and not even realising it until i look at the ground and see a clump of
my own hair. My parents didnt even understand my problem, so i promised myself that i wasnt ever
going to tell ANYONE. I was so ashamed that i refused to go to a hair salon to get my hair cut or
anything, and thats when i learned how to cut my own hair. The Trich problem contunued and before I
knew it, I was 50% bald. I was always wearing headbands and bandanas, !
but it never covered the problem completely. Making friends was hard since all these crazy rumors
circulated, its pretty crazy the things that people come up with. When i was 11 i made these little
homemake extensions out of barbie doll hair to cover up my problem. Supprisingly, it worked pretty
good. I would tie the section of doll hair into a ponytail and then tie that into a ponytail of my own hair
(that was only about an inch or two long) and then ta-da! It was the best i came up with. My problem
continued through the years, and i improved my doll hair trick a little. I also learned a few tricks to
keep me busy, such as making braclets and putting crazy glue on my fingers and then picking it off. I
know it sounds crazy but it actually worked wonders, it kind of felt as if i was picking hair, but i was
actually picking glue and it kept me busy. After my 10th greade year, I realised I needed change, I
couldnt live like this forever. I looked online for wigs and hair pieces! but nothing really caught my eye.
After searching for weeks i came across this woman Charlene who owned some salons that specialized
in Trich. I was soo excited. I didnt know what to expect but I was hoping for the best. I ended up
buying a hairpiece from her that covered my entire head, making it impossible to pull my own hair. I
had this piece installed for about a year and a half, and eventually i took it off and bought real
extensions and put them in myself, And now about 80% of my hair is real and nobody will ever notice
my problem. I now only pull when im extremely stressed and my newfound confidence motivates me to
limit my pulling as much as physically possible. I know that this disease is hard if not impossible to
control and i thought that i would ALWAYS have this problem, but in the last year or so i realised that
you can take control of it, and you dont have to let it take control of you. I now realised that I have a
talent in puting in hairpieces and extensions, so im planning on going to school for cosmetology so that
I could eventually help Trich sufferers just like me! I advise anyone with Trichotillomania not be
ashamed about this disorder, its nothing that you can just stop overnight and it makes it so much better
knowing that youre not alone and that theres millions more struggleing in the same ways that you do.

"Ready For Change!!
Ladies,
Well, what can I say?! An overdue THANK YOU!! I am still in shock and going into my
second week of no hairpiece. Every time I look in the mirror I am overjoyed and
overwhelmed with emotion. I cannot believe it is me staring back and my hair all
grown in. My urges are minor and I am so motivated to not pull after all the hard
work. It really was that finishing tool for me. I had gone through Cognitive Behavioral
Health Treatment to set the ground work, but needed the help in covering the
damage and letting my confidence start to surface to fully heal and grow inside and
out. Doesn't feel good to be a 25 year old bald girl!!
I was terrified to take that first step and have a consultation at Secret Mane, as I had
felt ashamed and embarrassed for so long. I thought I would leave feeling judged
and mocked, but instead I felt a warm sensation of compassion and trust. Charlene
you were so sensitive and soft spoken. I watched the two of you communicate on
what kind of hairpiece would be best for me and realized you two were excited and
sincerely wanted to help me, which in return I was able to feed off of that energy and
get excited as well. I remember every moment of that day - and I do not remember
much in life. I can not thank you enough! After that throughout the on/off
installments I got the chance to share my excitement and keep my motivation up
with the three of you (Charlene/Sheila/Marlin). Thanks for making me feel so
comfortable and being sensitive to my situation.
Now I am rambling and repeating myself...On a final note - I feel as though I can
move on with life and start focusing and putting my energy into something positive.
Which I could not have done with out you. This Chapter is closed and I am moving on!
Much Love and Appreciation to you.

pulling is Trich CURE?
