Noelle's BFRB Trichotillomania Treatment Options in Boston

Body Focused Repetitive Behavior (BFRB)

Let’s Understand Your Trich Better

Trichotillomania, or “trich,” is more than just a habit—it’s a body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) that creates a relentless urge to pull out one’s hair. This can lead to visible hair loss, distress, and frustration, making it difficult to feel in control.

If you’re struggling with trich, know that you’re not alone. It affects millions worldwide and can impact self-esteem, social interactions, and daily life. Trich isn’t about willpower—it’s a complex condition influenced by genetics, brain function, and emotional triggers like stress and anxiety.

The good news? There are solutions.

Hair Solutions for Trichotillomania: Custom Care for All Ages

Our approach to Trichotillomania is rooted in compassion. Our goal is not only to help our clients aesthetically, but to create protective hair systems that act as a barrier to discourage pulling while supporting natural regrowth.

Our clients are of all ages and professions — including physicians and medical professionals who trust our methods. We provide free private consultations, a discreet work environment, reasonable pricing for human hair, and above all — compassion.

Some insurance providers may cover part or full cost of a scalp prosthesis with a physician’s prescription and paid receipt.

This work is our passion. Our revolutionary custom-designed hair integration systems are low maintenance, natural, and so comfortable that many clients say it feels like their own hair.
