Trichotillomania (/ˌtrɪkəˌtɪləˈmeɪniə/ trik-ə-til-ə-may-nee-ə, also known as trichotillosis or hair pulling disorder) is an impulse disorder characterized by the compulsive urge to pull out one’s hair, leading to noticeable hair loss and balding, distress, and social or functional impairment.[1] It appears in the ICD chapter 5 on Mental and behavioural disorders and is often chronic and difficult to treat.[2]
Trichotillomania may be present in infants, but the peak age of onset is 9 to 13. It may be triggered by depression or stress. Owing to social implications the disorder is often unreported and it is difficult to accurately predict its prevalence; the lifetime prevalence is estimated to be between 0.6% and 4.0% of the overall population.[1] Common areas for hair to be pulled out are the scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, legs, arms, hands, nose and the pubic areas.
The name, coined by French dermatologist François Henri Hallopeau,[1] derives from the Greek: θρίξ/τριχ-thrix/trich- (“hair”), τίλλειν tillein (“to pull”), and μανία mania (“madness, frenzy”).[3]

But TheSecretMane, uses beautiful hair. Any women, sufferer or not, whenever she experiences a bad hair day, she is unable to function properly in any setting, such as her job, her school or on a date. She may even have no desire to go to school or on the date. But when her hair looks good, she feels great. Which is why there are organizations, like the American Cancer Society’s Look Good Feel Better program, which provides makeup and skin care so that women suffering from chemotherapy are able to feel better during treatment and as a result the path to recovery becomes easier to bear. With TheSecretMane program, sufferers are given a kit which contains hair and all the products necessary to install and remove the hair, whether on their own or with the help of a professional Trich experienced stylist. Not only does the hair hide the disorder, but it also prevents access to pulling out their natural hair. In addition, the sufferer can enjoy an active lifestyle like swimming and roller coaster rides with this hair. She won’t have to think about it for a month as this is how long the average wearer keeps it in for, till the next maintenance. Over time, with continuous maintenance, the sufferer is able to manage and control her hair pulling and many times have NO DESIRE TO PULL! This is what makes TheSecretMane program successful since 2004! The longest student is over 10 years PULL-FREE WITH NO recurrence of the disorder!

Since 2006, almost 10 years pull-free and counting!
We’ve listen to our Students from around the world and their most important question is;
“Can I really do this myself?”
Buying something online is scary and wondering if you’re able to install it properly is even scarier because you live long distances from my salon. And then there’s the fear of walking into a salon who may or may not know how to install your hair, not to mention the embarrassing talk of why you pull out your own hair or why you’re thinning. It’s all too scary and embarrassing.
Which is why we’ve listened to our Students and we’ve now included 1-on-1 monthly professional webcam follow-ups for 6 months. Because we take great pride to ensure each Student is properly monitored and successful in TheSecretMane program, we’ve included it in all our DIY Shops.
We give you MORE than those other online stores that just sell you the hair. We sell you FREEDOM and a NEW LIFESTYLE! And we stay will you for 6 MONTHS! I CHALLENGE you to find an online hair shop with a LICENSE SALON PROFESSIONAL who’s a HAIRLOSS SPECIALIST and who’s HELPED TRICHOTILLOMANIA SUFFERERS for over 10 years that offers all this and more! THERE’S NONE! That’s why 99% of our Students can’t find this kind of salon in their area!!!

Hi Charlene
I just wanted to say thank you. You are my hero!
My daughter can finally wear her hair down for the first time in almost two years. I think she wore the same headband for the last year and a half. (she feared other headbands would fall off and people would see her trich areas)
I did not know when I would fit the installation in our busy schedule to attach the extension so setting up a free video consultation was difficult. I watched the videos and read the directions several times. One night we decided to just go for it. I was scared cutting the hairpiece and nervous to put it on, but we did it.
My daughter was so happy. You can see her glowing in a few of her pictures with her red checks. I can not thank you enough.
Sincerely,
Amy
