Trichs
to Tresses Hair Extensions
One of the worst
things to befall a young woman or indeed a man is Trichotillomania.
They are reminded constantly every time they see their reflection in
a mirror or passing a shop window or even wanting to go swimming or
to sit in a Hair salon that the ‘Trich’ seems to rule over their
choices and lives.
Watching someone close to you suffer from Trichotillomania was at
times the most agonising and painful time of my life or anyone’s
life especially when it is your loved one.
My loved one first suffered from Trichotillomania at the age of 12
and she is now in her 20’s she has been suffering with this disorder
for many years now and there is no miraculous cure
She longed for a full head of hair, which looked like her own so I
took her see many Hair Extension Specialists and spent hundreds and
hundreds of pounds over the years.
Another member of my family has been a ‘Trichy’ for over 30 years
and has suffered with a terrible loss of confidence
So I decided to get the qualifications needed for a Hair Extension
Specialist so I can help my loved one and support other Trich’s
and their families who are going through the heartache of this
affliction and can not pay the ridiculous amounts of money that
Salons and other Hair Extentionists charge.
I can now offer a service which will give you a hair style that
looks natural and feels like your own hair and can give your own
hair a break from pulling and a chance to grow
This is by no means a cure for Trichotillomania but will give you
the confidence and a little more freedom to do more daily activities
So what is Trichotillomania (TTM)?
In 1889 A French physician called Francois Hallopeau saw a young
male patient who had pulled out patches of his hair. In his case
report Hallopeau gave it the name Trichotillomania. The word is made
up from three Greek words. Trich, meaning Hair Tillo, meaning pull
Mania, which has a number of meanings including frenzy, crazy,
madness or excessive activity. Trichsters are certainly not mad or
crazy so the word Mania is seemingly irrelevant
There are many answers to the question of what Trichotillomania is
and there are many different views as to what causes it and how it
is best treated. Sadly, here in the UK there is little awareness
about Trichotillomania within the medical profession and amongst the
general public but it is slowly gaining a greater understanding by
the medical profession and attracting increasing attention,
particularly from the internet.
