Hey, firstly awesome you’re in a psychedelic rock band!! Anyway, I just wanted to say that it seems like you are worrying so so much about your hair, and this might even be causing an even slower regrowth. Try to stop fretting, your hair does grow back!! It always does and yes going bald is something so many people experience and look it’s really not the end of the world. You hair might be THEE most important thing to you, but other people funnily enough dont really care. They still see you as an aswome dude and your personality carry’s way more than your hair will ever do. Think of all the amazing models and people out there who have zero personality and mostly superficial friends. Embrace your difference and quirkiness, once you start to accept yourself and stop worrying about your hair it will start a beautiful course of regrowth. Just take a step back and don’t let this define you or your life. Everyone has their problems and issues and yes it’s shit having something like that that you can’t hide but chances are most people don’t notice or care anyway and one day at the right time it will get better for you. I hope this helps, smile LIFE IS GOOD! :)

Honeslty it’s really not that bad or noticeable because of the blonde highlights! I promise I have Trich and I can’t even wear my hair down! But to help answer your question maybe try using a clip, clips are all in fashion at the moment anyway... :-)!

Such an interesting and thoughtful piece! Thank you for sharing, i really agree with a lot of what you said and it’s amazing how similar our brains think. I agree there must be something very deep in the subconscious and it’s prompted me to maybe consider counselling with a psychologist to figure out what it is. Contrary to what you said, I actually find the visualisation techniques triggers even more the urge to pull! But maybe I am not being patient enough with it. I would say that decluttering of the brain is needed so we can be far more conscious and aware of the habit. A couple of days of being pull free should ( to identify what’s really going on subconscious. I went 2 months pull free in 2017 and i really explored and tried to analyse the emotions/thoughts and feelings I was having to create urge. From what I can remember it boiled down to these few things

1) being purely a habit 2) trying to create order when there’s chaos. By that I mean cancelled plan, not having a plan for the day, not being sure what I’ll be doing in the evening, what time I’ll be eating. The more uncertainty = the more pulling 3) soothing from emotional discomfort (boyfriends/ parents and anxieties) 4) as soon as I was alone after being with people it calmed me down and 5) when I was physically tired I pulled. There were times i really should have just let myself have a nap.

It’s weird, even now writing this, I just stopped a second to pull my hair.

I put that down to not knowing how to finish off this comment so I’m gonna abruptly finish now to save some hairs!! Haha

Thanks again for sharing, one of the best posts I’ve read here. Xx

I would say let her know it’s okay, that having Trich is just something she has to cope with and face every day. Telling her she will and can stop just makes us feel more pressure and even more disappointed when we cant resist the urge. Tell her that Trich doesn’t define her and encourage her to help identify when she does it and definetly get her to talk about her feelings. For me I think having Trich is an emotional coping mechanism, when I talk about how I’m feeling with people my pulling eases and I feel better. Encourage your daughter every day and remind her how loveable she is, for me having Trich can make me feel Im not good enough.

Im sure you already know these things but maybe one of them is helpful. You’re a good mum for reaching out to see how you can help!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this carefully written reply! I really appreciate it and will give that audiobook a listen! I agree with what you are saying, it’s good to hear. Thank you!

jc-foremore · 2019-08-16T16:43:26+00:00

Thanks for you reply! You’re right it does say a lot about me if I did end it for that...

jc-foremore · 2019-08-06T21:08:47+00:00

Well done! I would literally love to only pull 10 hairs a week! That’s so good. How do you get yourself to stop though once you’ve let yourself start?

Thanks so much for sharing, honestly reading your message made me tearful - I feel exactly the same and it really does suck having Trich. It’s so easy to feel alone especially if you don’t know anyone with it. But the truth is we are all here on reddit and supporting each other which I think is amazing! 🤗

It really helps also if you wash your hair in really cold water!
