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.

Stylist teaches Trichotillomania hair barrier solutions



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. "People who pull out their hair are embarrassed to go to a salon" Charlene witnessed. She saw a need for an underserved population and thus HelpMe2Stop was born. HelpMe2Stop creates awareness, gives hope and healing and provides non-judgmental services, in something as simple as a hair cut.

HelpMe2Stop PARTNERSHIP





SALONS ARE THE FRONT LINERS and HelpMe2Stop is calling all salons to reach out to people in their communities. Someone you know maybe suffering in silence.


Stylists are people who enjoy beautifying and listening to their clients. They enjoy fundraising through community out-reach. Salons who create a positive impact in their communities are likely to have the media, news and TV reporters looking to interview them.


Because of their embarrassment, people who suffer from self-inflicted hair pulling seek out stylists who have some knowledge in the disorder so they won't feel judged. Stylists who have no knowledge will lose out on clients.


Services such as hair styling, learning how to camouflage bald spots, applying false lashes, hair enhancements, to name a few will help boost self-confidence.


Hair barriers have been more proven to help. Similar to wearing an arm cast to heal broken bones, hair barriers prevent access to natural hair, covers hair loss damages and provides an aesthetic appearance. The wearer can resume activities, such as going on a roller coaster or swimming that were once thought impossible. Offering hair loss solutions to a salon menu can add a new steam of income.


HelpMe2Stop offers all types of Hair Loss Solution, Replacement plus Extensions Classes.


To become a HelpMe2Stop partner salon, please text our volunteers at (570)221-9212.
