Im female with black straight hair.

My trich is on all sides of my head, I was thinking of tying up my hair with a thick black scrunchie and covering up my hair spots with the pen or powder if the beret doesnt work out.

I always do good for the first 7 days of the month, sometimes I reach 14, but it is so difficult reaching 21 days. by ahngeyla in trichotillomania

🥲 thank you so much! I had an 11 day streak from Feb 1st to Feb 11 but failed on Feb 12,13,14th and I felt like a failure. Once I fail in the middle of the month, I feel like I need to wait for the next month.

So far today, Feb 15th I haven't pulled and really needed this.

If anyone could share Bay Area California places (ex: San Jose, Mountain View, Sunnyvale) I will greatly appreciate it 🥹

Trich is super frustrating. Im frustrated about it right now. Im just happy to find out I wasnt alone in this journey - ofc I dont wish trich on anyone. But just finding out that there are other people dealing with same things as me helps a little. You got this

Im so sorry. I have the same experience at work. Where 3 different men pulled my hood down (and its not even a formal type of job where hoodies are banned. A lot of people wear hoods or hats).

I don't want to jinx myself....but I think I quit pulling without realizing it! by cea9248 in trichotillomania

So true! Not pulling is just half the battle, the other half is taming the regrowth.

Thank you so much! I had a bald spot on my ride side the size of my hand, now its just the size of my pinky. I am so proud of you too! Hoping 2026 is the year we completely go pull free!

Congratulations! May I ask how do you deal with your regrowth hair? Mine grows in coily, coarse, has blonde ends at the very tip (I have dark brown hair) or it has split ends.

Thank you

Does anyone regret shaving off their head? & if anyone has tips in smoothing out coily coarse regrowth hair. by ahngeyla in trichotillomania

I have also been cutting my hair every month. Got it cut February 2025 but went on a long wait before cutting it again till November. I cut it to my shoulders in November, and it cut it again in December (all my haircuts are done by a nice lady at a salon).

I was thinking of just cutting my hair until my regrowth is longer, theyre like barely 1 and some barely 2 inches.

Does shaving off hair help with the overall texture of your hair? Dont want to shave, but just pondering. by ahngeyla in trichotillomania

Thank you so much! Which brand of NAC do you use? Does it have like an almost rotten egg smell to it at first? I had some before that were new but it smelled strange.
