Does anyone else pull out hair thats dry and crunchy feeling ? The gray hair feels more this waythan the black hair on my head. I seem to obsess with those and wan't to get rid of them. I also seach fro the gray ones and roll them in a ball. This is so disresssing, I really need some help.
I do the same thing, pulling
I do the same thing, pulling the dark ones, and the thicker ones. What medication do you take? I am supposed to take lexapro, but I haven't been recently. I'm not sure it was really helping
i'm taking luvox (or
i'm taking luvox (or fluvoximine) and it's for OCD (since trich is sometimes considered OCSD [obcessive compulsive spectrum disorder]) and for anxiety. ANd it really helped me.
I always pull out the really
I always pull out the really dark ones (because I'm fourteen and have no gray hair) and the crimply ones or the really course thick ones. I like it when it looks like a wave. I used to sit for an hour or so and just search my hair for the "perfect" ones and collect them in a bag. This is SO frustrating for me. Now that I'm taking this new medication, it's pretty easy to resist the urge to pull if I put my mind to it, but it's near IMPOSSIBLE if it's course or crimply or dark.. UGH! I know how you feel!
I can imagine that is
I can imagine that is distressing! I am just beginning to get very course white/gray hairs and I am 38. It had me so upset on top of the trich. So I broke down and dyed my hair a darker flattering and fun color. "Pomegranate" a burgundy by Garnier Fructis. It's pretty! A deep blood red in the sun, it's fun. Do you dye your hair? Or would you have any objections to trying it? You might like it and the lift in spirits might help you to slow down the pulling. As far as dryness, consult a health food store. Or try hot oil treatments. VO5 has an affordable one. ST. Ive's has great deep conditioners and masques for hair. Try it. You might like it. My prayers are with you. My E-mail is raderfancan2@yahoo.com if you are ever in dyer need. Best wishes sweetie.
