My friend keeps pulling at her hair....?

My friend is so stressed that she's pulling her hair? Her hair is like layered since...a few years ago...she used to pull and pull her hair out. So, the very top of her hair is like super short, like 1 inch or so....and it's very thin, the bottom part is ok. She's covering part of her top part with the hair, but she lost like...a bottle cap worth of hair at one part....so yeah, it's like a tiny bald spot. I forbid her from pulling her hair, but what can I do to help her grow back her beautiful long hair? Her hair used to be down to her waist and so silky...now it's rough and short, and thin.

There's a condition called Trichotillomania where you pull hair-my mom has it and pulls out all her eye lashes when she's stressed. Some people pull out head hair, eyebrows-that kind of thing. There are a lot of things that can cause stress-obviously...but she needs to talk to her doctor about it. There's medications to help her calm down (my mom is on wellbutrin and it works for her). She can also try hypnotherapy if she chooses...my mom was told to keep a rubber band around her wrist and snap it every time she felt an urge to pull her hair. But that didn't work long term for her. Ask this girl to talk to her doctor about this disorder-and about ways to reduce and deal with her stress level.



Good luck!

her hair will grow back by itself if she will quit pulling it out.



She needs some counseling help to overcome the hairpulling thing. This is deeper than you can probably do on your own.

Your friend may have a condition called trichotillomania. You can check out some of the below websites and encourage your friend to do so as well. The good news is that it can be treated and she is not alone. Also encourage her to talk to her parents.
