Curly hair and trichotillomania

Alyssa

So, hi. I’m 15 in 6 days and have dealt with trichotillomania for around a year now, maybe a bit more. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a disorder where you pull out your hair, to put it simply. My hair is very short at the top (as it is growing back in) and thin and curly, so I don’t know what to do to make it look natural and not weird again. It’s a huge insecurity of mine. This is me.

And this is me about two years ago.

I’ve cried so many times because i miss my thick, beautiful hair. It’s a frizzy mess of short and long hair now and I despise it. I can’t find anyone else with curly hair and trichotillomania, so it’s a struggle to find a good haircut.

Does anyone have any ideas on what a good haircut would be for me? I’m getting my hair cut in a week or two and my mom will let me do anything but buzz it. Thank you for reading and if you give me any advice, I appreciate it!
