Do You Need Hair Extensions for Trichotillomania?
If you’ve been struggling with this condition, we understand that it’s likely having an impact on your confidence. Pulling hair isn’t something people can control, and they then feel embarrassed and upset when they begin seeing bald patches, usually beginning around the crown of the head. At Indulge, we’re proud to be a trichotillomania hair salon that uses extensions to restore hair loss due to the condition. We have a huge choice of extensions and application methods so whatever stage you have reached with your hair loss, we can help. We have hair extensions for trichotillomania such as tape-ins which build lost volume quickly as each tape provides a large swatch of quality hair. We also have cylinder extensions that cover your existing hair and clamp up at the root. These are lightweight and don’t have the damage risk of adhesives, so can be a great choice for fragile hair which is common with trichotillomania.
How Extensions Can Help the Condition
We are a hair and beauty salon and therefore can’t treat a mental health issue, so we’d recommend reaching out to a doctor if you’re struggling. However, trichotillomania hair extensions can not only help to restore your confidence but can help with the physical act of pulling the hair. People with this condition don’t want to pull out their hair, but they feel compelled to. Most do it in private and try to hide the hair loss. When you introduce hair extensions, it makes it harder to get to your natural hair and it’s very hard to pull out extensions due to the adhesives used. Adding this barrier can help reduce the compulsion as there is no longer instant gratification. You also need to have a maintenance routine at the salon and look after the extensions well at home with moisturizing, shampooing, and brushing regularly. This helps set new hair routines which can also reduce the compulsion and help people love their hair again.
