Dying my hair today yay! So many white hairs argh!!! They are everywhere!!

73 days pull free!!!!

Yes, get rid of those pesky white hairs. Their time has not yet come.

I've had white hairs since my late teens.. I never connected it with trich til I came here though, a few people in my family have gone grey prematurely, so I thought it was that.

Hair is dyed, now I have no visual temptation. And if I can keep my hands down there is no tactile temptation..

Mmmmm lazy Saturday.

I remember when I pulled my first white hair, it was about 15 years ago. I was surprised and I investigated it properly, the root was white too. Then it happened more often. I never knew it was because of trich.

69- Woodstock, I'm borned -69. Love the music from that period, but I think it's a good thing I wasn't a teenager or a young woman back then. I'm pretty sure I would have tried everything and with my addictive-obsessive-personality it would be a disaster.

You are doing great!!
Hug.

Haha! Yeah I would have gone crazy for sure!!!! Ah, if only my life was a movie set back then!!

Hehe, thanks gorgeous xo

Good for you to dye the white hairs. I have been massaging my face and scalp with my fingertips, and have noticed the hair filling in, the first ones that came in were white, the next ones that came in are close to the remaining brow hairs still in place.
Have you rubbed your fingertips together on the nail side? I have done this when the other techniques did not give me pleasant sensation, and it helps me. I do this when I get the urge to cry "at the drop of a hat". I am now on zoloft for acute anxiety, so the urge to cry is much less.
Enjoy your Saturday!
Thank you for your encouragement! It truly helps!

Yeah..... I have a lot too. They are also very distinct because my hair is black. I ised to sit by a mirror with tweezers and pull out all the white ones that just grew in. Thankg mother nature for hair dye. Lazy sat for me too hehe

73 days! Wahooooooooo! *dancin' dancin' dancin*

What color are you dying it?

73 days - wow that is such an accomplishment. Yipppppeeeee

No problem mid, thanks for YOUR encouragement!

Alex my hair is rather dark also. It's naturally dark brown, with slightly lighter highlights and red tones in the sun. I used to always pull out the white hairs too, but there were so many I didn't let myself too often, so dying it was the safe option!!

Kirstin I've been dying my hair since I was about 13..... Ha! I used to dye it with rinses; auburn, plum, brighter reddy pink tones.. Now I dye it with permanent dye to cover up the white hairs (pretty much my natural colour). When I get my hair cut in ten million years, I want to get some very subtle highlights. OH my GOSH I can't even think about how exciting that day will be, if the stylist doesn't eff it up! Ha I'll be choosing stylists very carefully..

74 days pull free!!!! Wow.

I just spent almost an hour pulling, I pulled out some really big roots! Was very calming and satisfying. Oh did I forget to mention that I was pulling out weeds in my garden? Hehe. Weeding is such a great way to make use of our trich urges, in a positive way.

Hurrah! I did the same thing, pulled weeds in the garden and you're so right, pulling weeds is a positive way to make use of the trich urges. Plus being outside in the sunshine, oh, was wonderful! Hang in there!

Yay! The sun was nice but unbearable at times. So HOT today! I was buuurning.

hahaha SAM!! U FREAKED ME OUT!! i was like OMG SHES PULLING?? AND SHES WRITING ABOUT IT IN SUCH A CALM MANNER??? then i read weeds. PHEW!! ur ok.
