ARE YOU A BEAUTY OR BRAND PROFESSIONAL?

Imagine a community of hidden clients longing for your expertise but too ashamed to seek it – that's the reality for many with Trichotillomania.

HelpMe2Stop bridges that gap, connecting the beauty industry with our underserved population while providing crucial support.

Join our mission and be part of a movement that changes lives and strengthens our industry.





WHAT IS TRICH?

Trichotillomania is a disorder
that involves the recurrent
pulling out of one's hair,
resulting in noticeable hair loss.

The pulling may be in response
to tension or an urge
and it often provides a
sense of relief or gratification.

This isn't simply a habit.
It's a complex condition
that can lead to significant
distress and impairment.

Consequences can include
bald patches,
social isolation due to
shame and embarrassment,
and low self-esteem.

Trichotillomania is classified as a
Body-Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRB).

It's estimated to affect
about 1-2% of the population,
and while it can begin at any age,
the typical onset is around
puberty or adolescence.

Research suggests a
possible genetic component,
as BFRBs tend to run in families.



HelpMe2Stop's mission is to support the Trichotillomania community through the
Beauty Industry.

A key project in achieving this mission is our inaugural
Trichotillomania Awareness Training program.



WHY?

Because we are

FOUNDED BY

a BEAUTY PRO

who saw a need



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.


Witness these inspiring transformations below – photos of hope and resilience and support our inaugural Trichotillomania Awareness Training program and create a powerful impact that causes rippling effects like one participant who donated her hair to a child who was featured in the news for being bullied.
