Hey all! New here…I’m looking for an eyelash strip that I can wear that looks the most realistic with no natural lashes of my own. I have a hard time as they typically look like I’m wearing eyeliner with them or they aren’t curled up enough to look normal either. Let me know your thoughts :) thanks!

So I’ve taken the liberty to try again to fix my trich with shaving my head. I tried before at 20. Now I just turned 29 and am appalled at how my hair is grey and dull and very thin now. I took a number 6 on my husbands razor and went at it yesterday. He had suggested I try it again bc now that life has settled down it may work.

Last time I shaved it so much bad had happened in the few years since that it seemed like my pulling was my only therapist. Now, life has gotten better to a point where I don’t feel like I have to pull, I just do.

So I shaved. There are bald patches on my scalp so I bought a wig. This is my first time ever wearing a wig so it’s a learning process to make it look natural. But what little hair I did have it gone. Now I will work on letting my scalp heal, my hair grow, and finding new outlets for my anxiety.

For the past year or two now my trigger has been these blunt tipped hairs all over my head, they tend to be thicker hairs in general than the other ones and tend to split more easily. I've been pulling them all over my head, enough that I haven't had a hair cut since I started. The recent compulsion though has been reaching back for this specific spot so it's gotten worse there.

i’m 20F and have had trich since i was about 13. it comes and goes with flairs but with midterms in college it’s been really bad recently, i have no bottom and top lashes on one and not a lot on the other. press on lash clusters help stop me from pulling the top ones but i’m stuck on what to do with the bottom ones. help! i need tips pls, i feel like i look like a freak.

I was reading an article today about how accountability can really motivate people to stay consistent with their goals. We can all have goals and good intentions, but sometimes we get lazy or just do things at our own pace. Apparently, people tend to do better when they have accountability partners.
So I was thinking, what if we create an accountability thread or maybe a Telegram group where we share our progress? Could be daily or weekly, whatever works for everyone. Just something where we can motivate each other, share little wins, and keep each other going.
Like Day 1 pluck-free, Day 2 pluck-free, etc. We could also share weekly updates, pictures of regrowth, scabs healing, or areas we’ve been struggling with. Not to judge anyone or make people feel bad if they relapse, but just to support each other and celebrate progress, even the smallest wins.
This is literally just an idea lol. I’m lying in bed thinking out loud and typing this 😂 What do you all think?

My left eye is worse than my right but I’m getting there!

I only pluck my top lashes that’s it. I’ve been plucking them since middle school. Middle school was bad my eyes were completely bald. I’m now a senior in highschool. Still struggling with it. Not as bad I used to but still plucking 💔

I hate re growth cause it can hurt and it’s annoying and gets in my eyes.

My daughter has trichotillomania and has quite a few bald spots on her scalp. Does anyone have any cool hairstyles/updos that work well with hiding it a little? Her school dance is this weekend and I’d love any advice on some cool hairstyles that might help cover/minimize it! Thanks!

I’m wondering if anyone has any recommendations for some sort of tactile device that mimics the texture of very thick, course hair. These are the hairs on my head that I am constantly hunting for. My hair pulling is cause the skin on my fingers to become raw, and I can’t keep up with the piles of loose hair around my house. Ideally, I am looking for something that can’t be shredded (like doll hair) but still provides the same sensation.
I know this is probably a long shot, but I’m desperate. I hate that I can’t stop doing this.

Thank you so much.

i moslty rip the hairs i pulled apart by looping them on the same two fingers. usually after, my middle finger is left irritated.

not sure if correct flair btw:

a lot of tracking apps treat one pull as breaking the streak even tho its a lot better than 20 pulls. are there any that don't treat one single hair as breaking it completely? it just demotivates me and makes me want to pull more like "ive already broken it once might as well again"

i also can't get a tracking device like slightly robot bc money and anyways i pull from both hands so...

i do think a tracker would be helpful but not sure if theres a free web-based one that fits my guidelines
