Trichotillomania is when someone can't resist the urge to pull out their hair. One of the consequences of Trichotillomania is that a sufferer may be left with bald patches. Sometimes when hair loss can’t be covered, sufferers will avoid social interactions, causing feelings of shame and low self-esteem.

It is estimated that about 1-2 in 50 people suffer from hair pulling disorders. Hair pulling disorders affects all genders, all ethnicities, all backgrounds and some diagnoses are as early as 18 months old. BFRB (Body Focused Repetitive Behavior) can be genetic.

Charlene Blacer is a hair, health, regrowth expert dedicated to help improve the lives of sufferers living with Trichotillomania. A long time volunteer for American Cancer Society's Look Good Feel Better program, she saw how there was help for cancer patients but very little for hair pulling disorder clientele.
