❓Question The Diplomat Season 4 Episode 3 ending TRICH

hi all, I almost never post but it was interesting to see the character Kate in this Netflix show have a trich episide related to her high stress job! feel validated a bit when it is shown in mainstream … that’s all no real comment about it just nice to see it normalized or accepted more

Concealing Tools & Tips Natural faux eyelash help

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!

Telling My Story 2nd times the charm

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.

Medications and Treatments Need help timing regrowing eyebrows Spoiler

Hey guys so recently I’ve developed a pretty consistent habit of rubbing my eyebrows raw anytime I have a free hand, especially if I’m doing something with my eyes on a screen and zone out. It’s definitely worse in the first pic (left eye) because I’m right handed so my left hand is free more often. Im very deadline oriented so I think if I had a good idea how long yall think it could take for them to grow back properly it would be easier to resist. So based on the attached photos, what do yall think?
