Immediate Confidence. Lasting Impact.

The journey of a person with Trichotillomania is an unspoken burden a lonely and isolated struggle lived in silence. Every hair pulled is a secret, a moment of profound shame that sufferers carry every day.

For them, the physical evidence of their condition feels like a secret exposed to the world. It is the raw feeling of being truly naked, a vulnerability that most of us can't begin to understand.

Here, our community bravely reveals that emotional hardship—not just a condition, but the courage to be seen.

A compulsive urge to pull out one's own hair can begin at a devastatingly young age as 18 months old and can lead to severe medical complications, especially when trichophagia (hair-eating) is involved. In rare cases, trichobezoars (hairballs) can form, potentially causing gastrointestinal obstruction and even death, particularly in children with "Rapunzel syndrome".

From childhood, sufferers are often bullied, feel profound shame, and are burdened by parents who may not understand. This leads to a life of impairment and isolation, where they are afraid to enjoy simple freedoms, like swimming with friends or even visiting a salon for fear of judgment.

That's why HelpMezStop is a vital bridge to a community of hope. We exist to educate beauty professionals, transforming them into compassionate advocates who can help those who suffer in silence.

Join me in this movement and become a beacon of light for a community that desperately needs it.

As beauty professionals, we've seen the powerful front that our industry puts up for the Cancer community. From pink ribbons to "Race for the Cure," there's a visible network of awareness, support, and hope. But for those with Trichotillomania and other Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), that network is missing.

As hairstylists, were often the first line of defense against hair issues, yet we're not taught how to recognize the signs of BFRBs or how to help clients who may be too ashamed to even sit in our chair. This is a massive, unspoken burden.

That's why I'm here. I'm here to educate you-to give you the tools and the courage to change lives, and to help our community find the support it so desperately needs.

When we think of hair loss, our minds often go to those bravely fighting cancer, estimated to be 2 million people in the U.S. But what if we told you there's a largely silent struggle affecting 5 to 10 million Americans?

Trichotillomania, a hair pulling disorder, is a widely misunderstood condition that impacts far more people, yet they face a huge gap in awareness and support, leading to deep shame and isolation.

HelpMe2Stop exists to bridge that gap, providing a community of hope and healing for the millions who need it most.

After attempting to refer people with Trichotillomania to salons, I found that even those offering hair loss solutions lacked the specific knowledge to help them. I saw a profound need to provide education, not just on hair loss, but on the unique and complex challenges of BFRBs.

This is me, pictured here, educating someone who traveled over 400 miles from Canada for a life-altering visit. Their journey highlights the massive, unspoken gap that exists in our industry. My mission is to give professionals the tools to truly help, so no one has to travel that far again to find understanding and a path to confidence.

Before HelpMe2Stop, I was just like you—a Beauty Pro on the front lines, with a chair and a pair of shears. I saw the unspoken struggle, the shame, and the immense need for support that my clients with the pulling hai out disorder, Trichotillomania faced every day.

This video tells my story—and the reason why HelpMe2Stop exists. It's an invitation for you to see how your passion and skills can be a beacon of light for a community that desperately needs a champion.
