If you or someone you love is dealing with Trichotillomania, (pronounced: trik-oh-till-oh-may-nee-ah), the experts at Bravadas can help.

First, is of primary importance that you or your loved one is receiving professional help from a qualified professional. This psychological condition involves the uncontrollable urge to pull one's hair out at the root from places like the scalp, eyebrows or eyelashes, and if left untreated, could lead to other medical conditions.

Generally, Trichotillomania begins to appear in adolescents around the ages of 11-13. While it can show up in boys, it is more common in girls. Some people pull large handfuls of hair, which can leave bald patches on the scalp or eyebrows. Other people pull out their hair one strand at a time. Having this condition can affect how people feel about themselves. Some people are self-conscious about how hair-pulling affects their appearance. Because of this, they might feel less confident about making friends or dating.

The caring Bravadas' experts can help you or your loved one cope with the affects of Trichotillomania and maintain self esteem by providing you with options on how to manage your appearance. Whether it's a hair piece or a wig, we'll work with you to determine which hair prosthesis fits your lifestyle and needs the best.
