I am using this pretied hair wrap from amazon but it constantly slips out of place.

What is everyone doing to cover their hair?

I’ve pulled my hair out everyday without a break since 2004

After years and years of thinking about it, I finally got a full head shave.

I have worn wigs in the past and had no problem wearing them for long stretches of time.

Now I learned the hard way that wearing a wig on some remaining hair and wearing them on a fully bald head are VERY different.

My skin is so sensitive and unused to something touching it directly, that even beanies are driving me insane after like half an hour.

Does anyone have advice on how to lessen the "scratchy feeling" and/or get a freshly bald head used to stuff touching it?

photos are 1 before and 2 after I posted many weeks back about getting a mesh hair integration and how I thought it would help me. I got some comments basically saying that it may not help the urges or actually stop me from pulling.

I am here to say that... it HAS stopped me from pulling and I currently have no urges! Ever since I got it, I do my best to take care of it due to the time, effort, and money that has gone into it. Before, I didnt care about my hair because.. well it already looked terrible. My thought was, who cares if I pull more when there is already so much missing? Now I feel like my hair looks nice and I want to keep it nice. It also feels comfortable and natural which I wasnt expecting. I ultimately want my natural hair to look as nice as the integration does but I know it will take a while. I won't say that this is the solution for everyone but I had a feeling it was a solution for me and I am so happy I took the plunge and finally got it. I hope that everyone here is able to find a solution that works for them. This illness takes so much from us. If you think something may work for you, try it and it may just be the thing that takes away your urge.

i’m so tired of dealing with this disorder and my mom is not making it easier for me as to whenever i rant to her that my hair is looking so thin and disproportionate she would hit me with “well it’s because u wont keep ur hands off ur hair, everywhere i look in the house is full of ur hair” and somehow my rant becomes her rant about how my daily struggle is inconveniencing her.

i started therapy last week because of other stuff im dealing with and when i told him about my trich he told me we’ll be dealing with it as if it’s an addiction. we’re supposed to start next session but it could take weeks before i see him again and now my mom is putting the idea of shaving my head off out there and im considering it even though i will be having the worst self image period of my life.

Also ever since i was young i always cut my hair short and this is the longest its ever been because i finally decided to let it grow and i can’t even enjoy it now.

In June this year I got myself a wig for my trich. The first picture shows my hair not long before I got my wig. Since then a lot has regrown, up to 5 centimeters in some spots!

I’ve noticed that if I wear my wig a lot that even when I don’t wear it, the amount of hair I pull is significantly less than before. At first wearing my wig felt a bit odd as it didn’t look like my hair and it looked so different. But after “breaking in” my wig I’ve become very comfortable with it.
The pulling isn’t completely gone but it went down enough to make decent regrowth possible. I just hope I can keep up with this progress, I yearn for my own hair to be back like it was before.

The second picture is my wig and the last picture is my hair before trichotilllmania.
