It is a com­pulsive hair-​​pulling disorder that can lead to per­manent hair loss on the head and can also affect eyebrows and eye­lashes. This can be quite painful for the suf­ferers who often believe it’s ‘just their fault’.

This con­dition may be a learned disorder; therefore sug­gesting it can be unlearned. The skin itself, or skin in which hair grows may be con­di­tioned over a long period of time. This time can be over a person’s entire lifetime causing the person to not know its origins or can arise within as little time as a year. This con­di­tioning seems to cause the per­ception of pain to be changed into pleasure. There has been notice of similar beha­vioral patterns within a family, sug­gesting genetic origin.

Frequent hair pulling can trau­matize the follicles on the head and can then lead to per­manent hair loss. This per­manent hair loss can make it dif­ficult for recovered tricho­til­lo­maniacs to return to a normal life once cured, but new treatments can help these patients regain a natural look once again.

Eyelash trans­plantation, where a new surgical pro­cedure can create new living and growing eye­lashes by trans­planting hair from the scalp into the upper eyelids. Another new method of treatment is that of eyebrow trans­plantation. This is a delicate single-​​follicle transplant pro­cedure that recreates the eyebrows by imitating the unique growth char­ac­ter­istics of the original hair follicles. The last method just dis­covered to be highly effective is that of Follicular-​​unit extraction which is a min­imally invasive, micro-​​surgical hair res­toration pro­cedure that uses tiny donor sites to transplant new follicles into balding areas of the scalp.

All in all, there is now great new hope for the suf­ferers of this con­dition and hopefully people will never have to endure this affliction again once suc­cessfully treated.
