SCROLL TO LEARN MORE



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.

Founded by a Salon Professional who saw a need


Charlene Blacer is a hair, health, regrowth expert dedicated to help improve the lives of sufferers living with Trichotillomania. A long time volunteer for Look Good Feel Better, 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. As salon professionals, we have the power to make a real difference in the lives of individuals struggling with Trichotillomania and become a beacon of hope on a condition that often goes unnoticed.
