At Tricho Labs, we recognise that Trichotillomania is more than just a hair concern – it’s a complex condition that involves both emotional and physical aspects. Often triggered by stress, anxiety or a need for control, this hair-pulling disorder can result in patchy loss and visible damage to the scalp and brows. Our Hair Loss Serum is designed to support scalp recovery, nourish weakened follicles, and encourage regrowth in affected areas. While regrowth takes time, our science-led formula is a gentle yet effective step towards repair. Because healing your hair starts with compassion – and care.
Trichotillomania is a psychological condition classified under body-focused repetitive behaviours (BFRBs). Individuals with this condition feel a compulsive urge to pull out their own hair, most commonly from the scalp, eyebrows or eyelashes. This action can be automatic, stress-related, or used as a way to self-soothe during times of anxiety or boredom.
Hair loss from trichotillomania results from repeated trauma to the hair follicles, which can lead to visible bald patches, inflammation, and in some cases, scarring if the behaviour continues over time. The emotional toll of the condition can be significant, contributing to feelings of guilt, shame or embarrassment.
Repeated pulling damages the hair at the root level. In the short term, this disrupts the hair growth cycle and leaves areas of broken or missing hair. Over time, if the same follicles are repeatedly targeted, they can become inflamed or permanently damaged, reducing their ability to regrow healthy strands.
However, in many cases, especially where pulling is reduced or stopped early, follicles can recover. Supporting the scalp with calming, restorative treatments can encourage regrowth and reduce visible signs of trauma.
Managing Trichotillomania requires a multi-faceted approach, combining emotional support with hair care that’s gentle and encouraging. Here are a few steps to aid recovery:
Recovery from trichotillomania takes time and patience – but with consistency and care, regrowth is possible.
