Hair loss isn’t always caused by hormones or genetics. Trichotillomania, or hair-pulling disorder, is a condition that can affect men as well – often linked to anxiety, stress, or compulsive behaviour. Over time, this can lead to visible thinning, bald patches, and scalp sensitivity. Our Hair Loss Serum is formulated to help support the recovery process by soothing the scalp, stimulating follicles, and encouraging healthy regrowth in damaged areas.
Discreet, science-led support – because recovery starts with care, not judgement.
Trichotillomania is a mental health condition characterised by the compulsive urge to pull out one’s own hair, most commonly from the scalp, beard, eyebrows, or eyelashes. For many men, the behaviour is a response to stress, boredom, or anxiety – and often becomes an unconscious habit.
The repeated pulling damages follicles, leading to:
The longer the condition continues, the higher the risk of permanent follicle damage, which is why early support is so important.
Each time a hair is pulled out, the follicle is placed under mechanical stress. Over time, this can lead to:
In early stages, follicles can often recover and regrow. But if pulling continues for months or years, some areas may experience reduced density or permanent loss. That’s why both emotional and topical support are essential parts of the healing process.
If you're working to manage Trichotillomania, pairing mental health support with consistent scalp care can make a big difference. Here are some steps to take:
Consistency is key – recovery is possible, but it’s a process that takes time and self-compassion.
