Prof @ClareEMackay is researching hair pulling disorder, also known as trichotillomania, which she's experienced for 35 yrs. She talks to SalonFocus @WeAreRedactive to raise awareness among hair & beauty professionals. See also Clare's blog @nhbfsocial👇nhbf.co.uk/news-and-blogs/bl…
Screenshots of the SalonFocus article entitled 'Managing Misconceptions: In the second article of our series on hair loss, we explore trichotillomania - hair pulling disorder - and how to support clients'. Includes an image of a peacock feather in a vase and a quote saying "There's a misconception that we're choosing to pull out our hair, and could make a conscious decision not to."
