Brittle breakable hair possibly contributing to trichtillomania

Posted , 3 users are following.

My hair is very brittle and breakable which may be contributing to my trichtillomania. I think if it were stronger and didn't pull out as easily I may not do it so much. Any suggestions to strengthen my hair/make it grow quickly?

    Hi , you take take certain vitamins that strengthens your hair along with other like skin , fingernails ,and inside health ... Vitamin D is one to improve all i mentioned .. Also when washing hair use egg before your shampoo . The protein and vitamin B12 helps with dry brittle hair as well

    Hm, Its seems you have hair like mine. I hope more people will join this discusion so we can hear their stories. Do you use hair dryer and flat iron?

    Yes i do use hairdryer but only once a week, let it dry itself 2 times per week. Did use flat irons until the trichtillomania started and now don't have to as hair is short. My hair is also wispy, what about yours. Don't know what age you are but I think sometimes your hair can change depending on your age.
