Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling) Support Group

I have never tried any but when I was planning on buzzing all my hair off I went to the store to look for a few hair regrowth shampoos and there are quite a few! I wouldnt get the cheapest on because usually it is just normal shampoo!

Try it out, if you dont see any major different with in 3 or 4 weeks it prolly doenst help that much :/

but go try, it may help others and may not help! you never know

Hi,
Nixon is a great product that I have used before. They have shampoo, conditioners, vitamins and a hair growth serum that you rub on your hair thinning area's. I think the vitamins really work well. If they are to expensive I have also bought hair and nail vitamins at Target for under $10. Good luck hope this helps.

Thank you for your replies. I think I'm gonna try something. I'm not sure what - but I will let you all know how it goes...

Hi---a friend of mine gave me a bottle of a shampoo called "Folicure" (there's the / accent mark over the letter e) that she bought at a beauty supply place. She said her dad used it after he lost his hair from chemo and it really helped his hair re-grow. Her hair is fine but she decided to use it too and said it really helped her hair thicken up. So I use it every day. My hair is really re-growing in, but in part because I have not been pulling. The top of my head was pretty bald and hair is growing in. But there are still many sparse areas. I don't know if hair will ever re-grow in completely? Hard to say since I have pulled for 20 years. But give Folicure a try. It was less than $2 here where I live.

I have been recently using that stuff on my eyebrows I let you know hoe it turns out.

Yes, please do!

I don't know about any shampoos, however; pre-natal vitamins when taken daily for months on end will cause your hair and nails to grow faster than they do without. I know everytime I was prego and took those vitamins my hair and nails went wild! It really couldn't hurt to take a daily vitamin. Good Luck!

I HAVE USED THE FOLICURE SHAMPOO TOO IT DOES WORK.

congrats!!!!!my husband has a bald crown and I remember(& I bought it for my daughter to help for the same reason) dandruff shampoo. there is an ingredient in it that they say helps invigorate the scalp. good luck.

I just order the Folicure for my son. Hopefully this will help. His hairpulling is starting a bald spot about the size of a quarter on the top of his head. I'm also going to get him the vitmains.

We're also waiting on a call back to see if a specialist will take him on as a new paitent.
