Stressed? Pulling your hair out in frustration, or is it a habit?
Trichotillomania, it’s when you pull your hair out but can’t stop yourself, you may not even realise that you’re doing it. It’s a condition that in 15 years of hairdressing I have only come across once, though they say the actual number of afflicted is reasonably high maybe upto 10% of the population (though I find that stat a bit hard to believe).
Mobile Hairdressing is one solution for those suffering from trichotillomania as they need not have the stress of going into a salon and therefore can have more privacy if they are self conscious about their hair. I must admit though that my old client’s hair always presented me with a challenge that no one else had, it stretched me not only technically but also creatively so in the end we both got something out of it.
