Don’t be afraid to cut your hair, layer it up, and even add some bangs and accessories. This week on the blog is all about the 2019 hair trends for my trichotillomania and alopecia friends.

Many trichsters, myself included, use New Year’s resolutions, birthday wishes, and shooting stars as moments of hope to tell ourselves, “I’m going to stop pulling my hair out.”

When you’re wearing a hairpiece, it can feel like you’re entering a whole new dimension of discomfort in the airport security line. 

A key part of ensuring that your hair is protected is using the right tools. I’m sharing my best tips for finding and using the best tools for thin hair.

On January 22, 2018 I shaved my head. After two decades of fighting my hair-pulling disorder, trichotillomania, I was finally in the driver’s seat.

It’s October. For those of us who use the New Year to set our intention for the changes we want to make in our lives, October can feel like a funny time…

For years, I was in a cycle of negative self-talk. I wanted nothing more than to go cold turkey; I thought the only way I could be happy was to stop pulling out my hair…

A few weeks ago, I went to the optometrist for my not-so-annual eye exam. It didn't take long into the eye exam for the doctor to notice I'm missing my upper lashes…

Growing up with trichotillomania, I had no idea so many women were unhappy with their hair. Call it naïveté or maybe even jealousy, but I couldn't imagine that women who didn't suffer from trich or alopecia had anything to complain about. 

I was in New York last weekend packing up everything I’d left behind. I was on high alert for hair pulling going into the trip. I usually pull more every time I go home.

I'd had a hair-pulling episode. I’d like to tell you that I have them once in a blue moon, but I’d be lying. The truth is I have one about once a week, and they can last hours.

Step-by-step guide to washing human and synthetic hair wigs.

This week, I'm answering the question we've all been waiting to ask when it comes to wigs... human hair or synthetic hair? 

This week's blog is the second in a series about wigs. This week is all about the different types of wig constructions, and which one might be the best for you. 

I've had a lot of clients ask me about wigs recently. Do I think they should get one? Do I think they need one? What is it like to wear one?

We all want healthy hair. But sometimes we're our own worst enemy when it comes to hair care. We think we're making the right decisions when it comes to products, styles, and routine; when, in reality, we're doing more harm than good. 

This week, I'm breaking down some of the most common questions and statements that people with trichotillomania do not like to hear.

I wanted nothing more than to go cold turkey with my pulling. With every hair I pulled I thought to myself, "this will be the last hair ever I pull." Twenty years of trichotillomania later, I can definitively say that there has been no "last hair."

Giving thanks isn't just reserved for the fourth Thursday in November anymore. Gratitude should be a part of your daily life.

If there's one thing people with trichotillomania are an expert in (besides pulling out their hair), it's making thin hair look thick.
