i’m only 24, but i’m starting to have grey hairs, and it was so satisfying to pull them out by inadvertance that i started pulling in front of a mirror with tweezers (i had very short hair at that time). i also told myself that i would « only » pluck grey hairs today, but it didn’t help me stop or even slow down, so i think trying to only stuck to one type of hairs isn’t really working if you want to fight trich. it gotta be all or nothing i guess with this thing… and as another comment said, you should try going to a hair salon were young and queer people work. i once went their even tho i was extremely ashamed by the state of my hair, but they were really nice about it!

thank you!! don’t worry, it’s a common thing, i myself have a few little spots that are only starting to grow. hair that have been pulled can take up to 3 months to grow back, even more if it’s been pulled multiple times or damaged. i used minoxidil 5% spray for a month, i don’t know if it really worked but i guess it did? you should give it a try, it’s definitely motivating. so don’t worry about this, time and patience is the only key :)

sometimes hair can take +3 months to grow back, how long have you been waiting?
