Diagnosed with trich in 2002, as a 12 year old. This year, I set a goal (see bottom card) to not pull my hair out anymore. I've gone 70 days (and counting) without it! ✅ Screw you, trich!3yr ⋅ SchleppyJ4 ⋅ r/Trichsters

I drew this eye on my mirror today. Every day that I don't pull my eyelashes, it gets one eyelash. Once I have 14 eyelashes, I get a spa day. Wish me luck.6yr ⋅ tomorrowistomato ⋅ r/Trichsters

I recently got microblading done - On day 3 of not having to draw on eyebrows and it’s life changing.5yr ⋅ PseudoPterodactyl ⋅ r/Trichsters
4 year progress on my eyebrows! Really proud of myself for how far I’ve come. It’s amazing how confident little things like eyebrows can make you!6yr ⋅ poebear1240 ⋅ r/Trichsters
Pulled all my eyelashes out over the weekend so falsies it is. I’m so scared these don’t look natural but they’re the least dramatic I could find. It’s mainly when I’m looking down that worries me. I ordered some more natural looking ones but for now I have these. What do you guys think?6yr ⋅ erin0125 ⋅ r/Trichsters
My eyebrows are finally growing back!!!! I’ve been using black castor oil every day and I also started wearing fake nails that look cute but keep me from being able to pull my hair!!4yr ⋅ riessk4 ⋅ r/Trichsters
This is the most hair I’ve had on my left eyebrow in 11 years. I thought the “tail” end would never grow back. There was a time where it was completely gone. My scalp is another story, I’m working hard at being happy with my progress there but this is one thing I can smile about today.5yr ⋅ buhtha ⋅ r/Trichsters

Any hope for regrowth? I haven’t pulled since March 1 but not seeing much progress in my bald spot1yr ⋅ AcademyFootball ⋅ r/Trichsters
Trying not to get too excited, but I've gone several months without pulling and I am on medication that seems to be working (zoloft). I colored my hair black for the first time in a long time as celebration of my progress! I havent had to buzz it in a few months! There is hope my friends!5yr ⋅ littlebazinga ⋅ r/Trichsters

After 2 weeks of NAC, increasing my SSRI and putting a lot of effort into breaking this habit, I’ve gone a full week without tweezing hairs out of my legs. They’re still a mess but it’s progress.6yr ⋅ ladykatey ⋅ r/Trichsters
Trying Something New... painted (gel) nails... I havent stopped pulling eyelashes, but it makes it harder to pull, esp the longer they get. And also helps with my nail biting. I'm trying.5yr ⋅ atomicmisfitt ⋅ r/Trichsters

It’s been 6 days since I’ve pulled out lashes or brows. They’re growing back now and it’s ridiculous how hard it is not to pick at the little stubbles, especially since my lashes are poking right into my eye. I’ve got this.6yr ⋅ giraffes_are_selfish ⋅ r/Trichsters

Me around 7. I've struggled with trich on and off since I was in 1st grade. I'm 27 now and it's something I still do from time to time(just on my head now though). I've always wondered, is there such a thing as being completely trich-free? Cured?5yr ⋅ Tsurukosama ⋅ r/Trichsters

Hi friends:) I will be shaving my head again because of trich. I wanted to ask what style/color wig you think would suit me!

A before & after picture of my progress so far. The first picture was taken in late October 2016, & the second was taken today, 17th June 2017. I've been pull free for just over 3 months, but I don't have any photos of the start of that point. I still have a way to go, but at least it's progress.7yr ⋅ intimatealien ⋅ r/Trichsters
