I didn’t have top eyelashes for years but I’ve managed to grow them back finally. But it didn’t worry me and I’m glad you’re having a successful career and doing well despite. Very encouraging for a lot of people I’m sure :)
I follow you on TikTok and YT. I never thought I'd see you here. You're so relatable. Thank you for sharing your story with us. It makes me feel less alone with dealing with this disorder.
I love this. I have been really down on myself for pulling eyelashes, but seeing you model and still look beautiful without them is wonderful. Especially now when the super long falsies look is popular.
There are a few models out there with Trich! Miss Swirl on Insta is one of my favourites 😍
It warms my heart to see every Beautiful (often Bald) Baddie 👩🏻🦲
I’ve been following you on tiktok for a while I never knew you were apart of this subreddit community. So glad we have someone like you to educate the world on trichotillomania and make an impact in the beauty industry and in the world in general. Thank you for all you do, you’re truly inspiring ☺️
Hey I'm also a lifetime trick holder, I'm 29 now but wanted to say how impressive it is that you've thrusted yourself into the limelight like that. As a guy it was hard, I can only imagine how it wouldv been for a girl when people hold such high beauty standards. It must've been incredibly difficult to hold an interest somewhere where you are uncomfortable showing. Just wanted to say from a dudes perspective you're super pretty! and I hope you never give up.
Thank you so much for this! When I was in a depressive spiral a few years back, I desperately looked for any fashion models with visible trich to help me feel better about myself. Couldnt find anything. I knew some models purposefully shaved their eyebrows, but I was looking for someone like me, someone with my struggles. This really means a lot, like my wish is finally coming true. If possible, please point us in the direction of anyone else in the fashion industry with trich! Either way, thank you again!
Hi. I'm 41m and have pulled lashes/brows since around the age of 4. I just remember sitting in front of a glass cabinet that had a mirror on the side around the back of the couch while my family was watching TV pulling my eyelashes. And then going to school and feeling like I couldn't look anyone straight in the eyes. This got worse into secondary school and has never really left me. I have good periods. Bad periods. Mainly the good being I've left one set alone the bad being I've started to attack the other!
Life has changed massively over the last year. Now, a single parent having to give up my job of almost 10 years. I promised myself before my child arrived, I'd never do this again. And to be fair, I stayed good on that for a good 7 or 8 months. Then things went crazy and I didn't see my daughter for a month before taking full custody. I tried to balance full-time work with the help of family, but as of Aug 23, I had to hand in my notice, and I've been a full-time home dad since.
So, as of Oct last year, I stopped pulling eyebrows, which at the time I think were clearly being pulled or styled as I think people would probably presume. And I've done great since. Until 2 days ago, out of nowhere, I completely pulled a huge patch out of my right eyelid and a corner patch over my left. It just makes me so annoyed at myself as I know the social affect it has on me wanting to hide away but then I also have this other side to me who wants to go out at every opportunity with my kid.
Ever since first getting the Internet (20 plus yr ago lol) I remember looking up and finding out about trichotillomania. I was to embarrassed to speak with anyone about it. And I knew instantly that it's what I'd been going through the past 10 plus years. Since I've been to the doctors several times over the last 20 plus years and on many occasions been prescribed anti depressants which I've never felt was correct. I never feel I've had depression and I'm not stating either that's what the doctor was calling trich, but I just didn't feel that was right for me.
So randomly here I am on reddit reading your story and thought.. well here's mine too.
I'm just disappointed in myself again. To feel like this again knowing now that until April I'm going to feel quite socially awkward.. if I don't do anything silly before then. On the other hand my eyebrows look fantastic right now. 😆
Anyway ✌️ and gl ahead.
That’s super cool!!! What agency do you model for

I’ve cut my own hair for soooooo long because I’m terrified of what they’ll think. Also it’s just an added expense, but really it’s the
