Trichotillomania - caused by compulsive urge to pull out hair


Trichotillomania is an impulse control disorder characterized by the compulsive urge to pull out one's own hair, sometimes leaving noticeable bald patches. While the exact cause is unknown, anxiety, stress, and habitual grooming behaviors may trigger the repetitive hair plucking. Both behavioral therapy and medications help treat trichotillomania.

In addition to managing the compulsive behaviors, nourishing the scalp and follicles is important. Gentle massages with Kerafeel herbal oil can soothe inflammation from frequent pulling, provide essential nutrients for regrowth, and help break the habit cycle through its calming botanical compounds. Combining treatment modalities gives the best chance for regrowth while learning to resist trichotillomania urges long-term. With patience and a holistic approach, hair lost to this complex disorder can regenerate.
