Trichotillomania is a disorder that is characterized when one pulls out their own hair.  The repetitive nature of the disorder causes widespread hair loss.  A body-focused repetitive behavior, or BFRB, trichotillomania is one of several self-grooming behaviors where an individual can pick, bite, scrape or pull their skin, hair or nails ultimately causing damage to the body. 

Images International offers free consultations which include a hair and scalp analysis.  What is a hair and scalp analysis and why is it important?

Experiencing hair loss as a woman is extremely common.  Women may experience hair loss or they may experience hair thinning and in some cases they experience both.  This can be caused by a number of factors.  For women, hormones can play a role, thyroid hormones as well as fluctuations due to menopause contribute.  Nutritional deficiencies can be a culprit as well as poor overall health.  Stress, genetics, behavior and chemotherapy have all been linked to hair loss.  Figuring out what is causing your hair loss is the first step in solving the problem.

1. The average person has 100,000 – 150,000 hair follicles.
