Maggies Hair Pulling Blog

I have been using twitter for a few weeks to connect with other trich suffers and so far it has been quite good. I have been speaking to people from all over the World. There aren't many people who tweet about trich, I have only found about 20 which isn't many considering how many people use twitter! It passes a few minutes here and there and if I'm tweeting then I'm not touching my hair! :) With regards to trying to improve my hair I'm still using a volumiser to cover my own hair and I still go for appointments at Hair Solved every few weeks to have it tightened. This picture is of me the last time I went. They pull my own hair through a net and then clip it in place with little metal grips. All of the red colour is my pretend hair, it's real human hair but not actually mine! I do sometimes wander who is belonged to originally....... I enjoy going to the salon and its good that I can change the length and colour at any time too. I don't have to wait for...

Just got back from Manchester after going there for the weekend to have my volumiser tightened and trimmed! It takes about 3.5 hours to get there and so is quite a mission! I did well though and managed not to touch my hair while driving there or back. The whole weekend has been pretty good and so i'm going to try really hard during the week not to touch either. I quite enjoy getting my hair done, before I had the volumiser fitted I hadn't been to a hairdresser for about 15 years. I always just trimmed it myself as I was too scared to show anyone how thin it was, I also hated the idea of anyone touching me! If trich was widely discussed and known about then I might not have minded, however it's a secretive problem that most people don't know exists. I get my hair done at a place called Hair Solved , it's a small friendly place where they make you feel quite normal and comfortable, there is also a chocolate shop next door which is amazing! :) Hair Solved: http://ww...
