Hair Loss Pros with Empathy Have Superpowers
Listening and Understanding Lead to Answers and a Career By Hannah Reid, Founder of Perfectly You, Los Angeles, California and Sarasota, Florida “Did you know that what you have is called trichotillomania?” Those were the words that changed everything for me. You see up until the day that I heard those words, when I was 18 years old, I had been pulling my hair out not knowing why, what was happening to me, or if there was anyone else out there that had ever experienced what I was going through. @hairadditionshannah Hannah@perfectlyyoucommunity.com

It all began when I was 12 years old after my father died and my mom got remarried to a man who was abusive in more ways than one. I began pulling my hair out when I was sleeping and awake. That’s right, you heard that correctly, I was also pulling in my sleep. Trich can be different for many people, but less than 10% of people pull in their sleep and when they do it is usually is caused by some form of trauma. I was one of them. My mom began taking me to different doctors and psychologists to figure out what was wrong with me.
