Charlene Blacer, a hair loss specialist dedicated to improving the lives of people with Trichotillomania (a hair-pulling disorder affecting an estimated 1-2% of the global population) since 2005, witnessed firsthand the shame and isolation they faced. As a long-time volunteer for Look Good Feel Better, she saw the support available for Cancer patients and recognized a significant gap in services for those with hair-pulling disorders.
"Most people who pull out their hair are embarrassed to go to a salon,"
Charlene noted, realizing the need for a more understanding approach. This led her to found HelpMe2Stop, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that raises awareness about Trichotillomania, offers hope and healing, and provides non-judgmental support, including specialized hair care advice, support groups, and referrals.
HelpMe2Stop trains beauty professionals to create supportive environments, helping individuals manage their hair pulling and naturally regrow their hair—often after years of struggle—without drugs or long-term therapy, solutions many healthcare professionals are still searching for.
