Was having such a rough night feeling guilty for pulling all my lashes out for the millionth time in 8 years.. but this made me feel so much better and less self conscious thank you for this ♥️
Omg I have the same problem. I'll stress and just pull my eyelashes out and then the next day when I'm putting my makeup on I'm like ugh so mad at myself for doing it. It's so hard!
Jennifer Martinez same here. People think I'm weird or from the UK because i look different from pulling my eyelashes out. I cover with eyeliner because im embarrassed
Jennifer Martinez I know! I had this since 11 . I beat this for 15 years, but because of crappy miscara, i started pulling again. Now the urge to pull lashes is none existent because I want a no make up face! Ypu can beat this. Put eyelashes on and take a picture. Every time you try to pull look at your picture with lashes and talk yourself in not pulling because you love your lashes. I pull my leg hairs instead!
The worst is the next day after you pull all the eyelashes out AND THEN UR ENTIRE EYE AREA PUFFS UP LIKE A BALLOON AND EYEONE IS LIEK "WHAT HAPPENED" AND U GOTTA PRETENED THEY ARE BLIND AND U LOOK THE SAME
I just want people to know that you can stop!!! I used to pull out every single eyelash I had. It felt so good I just couldn't stop but after 2/3 years of looking terrible and having zero self confidence I finally decided to stop. It was a really long and hard process but I did! Honestly I still have slip ups. Like yesterday I got an urge and now I have a gap but your eyelashes will grow back! It takes time but it's worth all of the hard work.
Caitlan Byrd I find it satisfying doing it when I was about 9 and they grew back but now I'm 13 and I literally just started doing it again and I'm almost crying typing this xx
Same here! I had it for about five years and then after I got to high school I felt so out of place. It took a long time for me to stop but I did eventually. It’s one of those things you never think you’ll be able to stop but if you work hard you really can. I used to make sure I clipped my nails short and put Vaseline on my lashes before bed so they were too slippery to actually get. And for the times when I would sit and watch movies I would bead a bracelet or something at the same time just so my hands didn’t find their way to my lashes.
I did it to my bottom lashes years ago and they still haven't grown back. Unfortunately it is possible to damage the follicle enough that they just won't grow again.
Questions you hate hearing when you have trich with falsies on: "How do you get it so close to your lashes? It looks like they're your only lashes. *looks away nervously*
Linna XO the sentence that pisses me off the most is “why do you wear falsies? You’d look so much better natural!” Like... mmkay like I get you don’t know what I’m going through but keep your dumb comment to yourself... I can’t go natural, trust me I’d love too if I HAD LASHES
This is my first time searching trichotillomania on youtube. I've had it for 10+ years! it's really refreshing to see you & people in the comments that have the same thing. I don't feel so left out. My eye brows have got way better! Sadly, I still pull out my eye lashes but I'm just trying to work on my eyebrows for now. Thank you for posting this video. It really does help. ❤
I have the same issue it’s so embarrassing and makes my self esteem low. My boyfriend noticed it but tells me I’m still beautiful. I’m going to try this. Thanks for the video
I been so scared to tell mine. But he notices . My mother always tells me I look like I have down syndrome and I need to stop or shes gonna disown me 😓
As weird as this may sound my BF tells me he loves it because it makes me beautifully different! I still don't feel beautiful at times. But I'm dealing with it! 😊
I have had this for years. I also don't have eyebrows. I've been too scared to do any research, and because of that, I don't think I will ever have full lashes or eyebrows again. This was the first video I've seen for help. Thank you for being so open. It made me realize how I'm not alone. You're so beautiful
I'm the same, been like this since 8th gr but my friends don't judge me and my guy love me , so I'm grateful for them,but I'm tried of it but I still do it till this day stress is so much but I'm trying
This is amazing. I’m a lash tech and I have this problem- it’s MORTIFYING. I cry daily because of this. I really appreciate your video because everything online just says to use syrums but they haven’t been working and I can’t face myself with no top lashes. Thanks for the tips and thanks for the reassurance. Also you are STUNNING.
THANK YOU!!!! I am in tears right now knowing that I am not the only one!! After 25 years of isolation and having no eyelashes or eyebrows, I have finally gotten the nerve up to do some research and learned about trichotillomania. I am so grateful you had the courage to show your true self and give us tips on applying false lashes!

Almost in tears in just the first minute. I swear I thought I was the only one that pulled my lashes... Thank you so much for putting this up. I was always self conscious about my eyes, hid myself for years if my eyeliner ever came off. Then I had my liner tattooed on about 3 years ago (due again) and as painful as it was, it gave me my confidence back. I have been dying to learn how to apply false lashes without having any of my own. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for putting this up!
I subconsciously pulled out my lashes on my right eye the whole time I watched this video😭 I wish I could just stop! My mom doesn’t get it she makes it so much worse:/
I'm so thankful for you making this video. I just started this year (I'm 38) pulling all the lashes from the outer corners of my eyes, and pulling hair from my head. I have been so self conscious, and I cry and beat myself up every time after I do this. Why do I do this to myself?? I have become basically a hermit because I am so embarrassed for anyone to see me. This is really helpful, more than anything just to know that I'm not alone in this. I really didn't realize other people do this also, so I felt like, "what the hell is wrong with me? I'm a freak! Other people don't pull their hair and eyelashes!" and you have no idea how moved I am to know I'm NOT a freak, and I am sitting here crying right now at the relief of knowing now that I'm not. Thank you so much!!! Also thanks to everyone else who commented and admitted they do this too. I don't know why I started doing this, and I honestly didn't even make the connection that it's stress induced. I will pray for all of us for healing from this. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video!! I have trich too and I was having a rough night and this made me feel so much less ashamed and alone! Thank you for being so real and making this video!
I also have Trichotillomania, Currently in high school. I started in 1st grade. I still pull my eyelashes and eyebrow hairs out, but not as much as I used to back then. Finally someone who I can relate to. My mother used to and still does confronts me of my hair pulling and always asks “why did you pull your eyelash/eyebrow hair out?” Once I tell her “I don’t know.” She makes me more ashamed of having pulled out my eyelash. Nowadays I haven’t pulled out my hair that much, if I do pull it out, the patch would be visible if you look twice.
I’ve had trich for 30 years, I’ve learned to embrace it and know I’m still beautiful! I’ve pulled out eyelashes, brows and hair! My eyebrows and hair mattered more to me so I got eyebrows tattooed on and I wear hats constantly pulling or not so I’m not tempted! Mirror get rid of and try and stay busy , being bored tends to set me off so.... also remember your not alone man or women child or matured! We all have something we are fighting ! Embrace it and know your worth!!! God bless 🥰
Thank you for sharing! I just went thru a major a relapse and pulled out almost all my upper eyelashes. This makeup technique helps so much while I recover.
Thank you so much!! I’m 13 and mines about like yours. I’ll get better and then Get stressed and relapse... you know, teenage girls can’t be very mean so definitely doesn’t help. This is gonna help me feel so much better about myself:))) god bless you, have A great day!
Girl you are the bomb for doing this. I am still a complete nutcase about exposing my eyes without makeup, hEaLtHy. This is legit inspirational, and actually helpful, rare combo!
Ive had this problem for years and started wesring alot of makeup and eyeliner to make myself feel better. Going through the comments and seeing everyone who has this. Im the only one i know who has it. Its embarrassing and im glad theres other people who know how it feels and how open they are about it
This has saved my life. Thank you for this. I got told you cant apply strip lashes if you dont have any of your own. So wow!! Thank you. Im going to buy some and practice. Your so beautiful. Keep it up 💪 x
I love this so much I've had trich since I was very young and have always had troubles covering up with anything other than thiccc ass eyeliner. Also just a tip to people do NOT put any glue on your eyes if your lashline is bruised or have been pulled that day to avoid eye Infections cause we gon get them easier anyway 💕💕💕
Janine Pinto Please don't hate yourself. I'm 13 and I got diagnosed with trich when I was 11 and trust me, Middle School + Trich = The worst bullying you will ever see..
40 years for me! I started when I was 10. I just pulled all the ones on my left side out 3 days ago. Medication helps. I wear glasses so that's a life saver for me at work but at home self control and awaremess is the only way to slow it down. I just accept it now.
Thanks for sharing! I have suffered from trich for 23 years now. Have been using falsies for the last 15 years...i go no where with out them! I also have pulled brows but did get them microbladed this year and I am glad I did microblading mimics real eyebrow hair.
Theresa From the Miramichi Yes it will. Try pulling leg hairs instead! It does the same thing. The feeling is the same as well when you pull leg hairs out!
I️ was diagnosed with trich when I️ was 5 and now I’m 18 and I’ve learned to control it but sometimes my stress level get out of hand and I️ do it but not much
When will it end is right! 15 years later and im still pulling these lashes!!! I've gotten a little better by leaving my brows alone but my top lids are baldy!!!!
YES!!! I'M NOT ALONE!!! I don't usually comment on much of any videos...like at all. I'm so glad I came across this video. I suffer from "Trichotillomania" and recently I have wanted to try lashes, but since I had no lashes, I didn't think it was possible to. Thanks so much for this video it helped a lot. :)
I have a severe form of trich and this video helped me so much. I got microblading done for my brows but not having lashes is always tough. Thank you for all your help! 💕💕💕
I just accidentally pulled out most my eyelashes on my left eyelid 3 mins ago because my sister scared me while i was curling my lashes. I was so stressed on how i was gonna go to school tomorrow with this and then i saw this video and i thankfully have eyelash adhesive and fake eyelashes! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ADVICE THIS VIDEO WAS A LIFESAVER
You're so beautiful ❤ you're amazing for being transparent because you truly empower others going through the same thing to feel good about themselves no matter what
I am 61, and had the problem since I was 13 - today they don’t grow out anymore... so if you can, STOP doing it. It gets harder and harder to make a good line, on old lids 😊
Cee-Cee Rockwell around when I was 35 a part of them didn’t grow back and at 40 there were none. If you could stop please do it. I am so sad I didn’t...
I pulled mine out (top ones)around 10 years old..Here we are 30 plus years later and they haven't grown back at all.. .I must of completely damaged the hair follicle at as a child....Thank goodness for youtube and falsies, and others like me who experience this condition so I don't feel alone..Many people lashes grow back.. Mines didn't grow back AT ALL...Before wearing falsies, all I had was my bottom long lashes because my top ones were( still are ) done for....Black eyeliner was and still is my best friend😉😉🙂
Thank you for this!!! I have this condition as well. I've had it since i was about 5 years old. My 21st bday is in less than a month and I just want to look as good as possible at least for that day! I have such difficulty putting on false lashes but this is great! Thank you!
Loved your video, your personality and voice are awesome. I ripped my lashes out with my curler, root and all, just on one eye!!! This video has been a godsend. Thank you!!!!
Mine started when i was about 30, I'd never had the urge before then. I just love the sting when i get a "good one" if that makes sense. Its been afew years now and I've made some progress, I only pull bottom lashes now and not as often :/
This is great because my daughter has it and has no lashes she going to be so happy thank you so much my daughter 13 been with the disease sense 2 years old so thank you🙏🥰
I just had a relapse, and I’m 13 years old. This reeeally relieves stress for me, but only creates more when I realize how many lashes I’ve pulled. I’m going out to get lashes today in hopes to help me to stop pulling and also help my self esteem. 💖💖 thank you
thank you to you, and all the beauties commenting on this video. i have struggled for 14 years... it’s so hard. i am just happy to learn i am not alone. 🖤
I didn’t think anyone else had this problem. I am happy that I’m not alone. I was bullied in elementary school for pulling my eyebrows and eyelashes in class. I was trying to find a way to glue lashes on even though I have some patches. Thank you😌
GREAT VIDEO! I'M A NEWBIE TO YOUR CHANEL I'M A TRICKSTA MYSELF! SO I TOTALLY KNOW AND UNDERSTAND I HAVE NO LASHES ON EITHER EYE I WEAR LASHES BUT ONLY WHEN I GO OUT BUT WATCHIN THIS VIDEO YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME ALL OVER AGAIN TO ROCK MY LASHES!BUT YOU DID THOSE LASHES HUNTY! LOVE THEM THEY ARE DOPE!!
Just found this video and I’ve never tried to do falsies because I just assume they won’t stay but this made me want to buy some and try!!! Also I model and it makes me feel like shit every time a MUA is like “it’s not working omg you don’t have any lashes or they’re so short” so this really inspired me to just try to do my own so MUAs can stfu and not make me feel like shit 😭😭😭 tysm
I kinda got over pulling mine out and tried to just bend the eyelashes with my fingers and brush my eyelashes with my fingertips instead of pulling the entire hair out and it worked. I was so fed up having no eyelashes so give it a go.
i have had Trich since I was 7 after a childhood trauma. I have tried all sort of lashes and nothing worked until I found the brand I currently use. I love it so much I sell it! I have never actually seen others as bald as me. Thank you for sharing! If you are interested in the brand I found, please comment below. I don't know if anyone including the leader of this group have affiliations with other brands. I love my magnetics! no glue to get stuck in the few lashes you have!!!
Has anyone used latisse for trichotillomania? I can go 3 or 4 months without pulling and growing back then back faster would help out a lot Bc I want to pull them out less when they're full.
Thank you :( I’m 11 years old right now and I’ve had trichotillomania for 3 years now. People at my school get bullied if they wear fake lashes, makeup etc so im going to try to find some for natural looking ones so that doesn’t happen to me. Since we’re in quarantine and if I actually get fake eyelashes I could probably fool some people because it would make sense because my eyelashes could grow in that time. 🙂
Thank you for posting this! I never knew what this was, but I’ve been pulling my eyelashes ever since I was 15! However recently it’s gotten a lot worse! I have bald spots in the center of my eye and decided to get fake eyelashes because I feel like people are staring at my eyelashes and think they look weird... I’ve been wearing them for a week and haven’t pulled them at all! I feel like I can finally look put together and pretty now!
I’m so glad I stumbled upon your page. I’ve had this condition since the age of 9 and was always made fun of for it. I’ve never felt pretty without eyeliner, lashes and glue close by. It’s so hard to resist the urge to pull while stressed and having remorse the next day. Is there a support group for this?
You did an AMAZING job on those lashes! I am dealing with trichtillomania...and need to try this bc I didn't think it was possible. Plus with falsies it prevents from plucking bc I am forced not to or ruin the look altogether. I did have some applied when I had small growth but never with out any....wish me luck!
I’m glad I found this video. I pull out my eye lashes and brows out. I’m older but I always sucked at make up. I always afraid to put fake eyelashes while having no real lashes.
i have this condition but when i want to grow out my eyelashes fast i like to use rosemary oil on my eyelids and on the part where my eyelashes are supposed to be.
Having a younger cuz with the same I did not understand,,,,,,,,BUT cancer not only taught me her struggles but to understand that I was the lucky one to eventually have it or have it to never return is something that I needed to accept, whereby she has to knowingly and consciously decide EVERY MOMENT with Trichotillomania her strength. So I salute you for sharing and teachings. BLESSINGS, LACONDESALATINA.
Thank you so much! I’m going to highschool this year and I needed a way to do this bc I thought bc I had nun there was no way at all I could use them but then I found you! I’m going to try this!
I didn't think of it either. I might try but I will be in the bathroom for hours to get them to look like hers and I have zero patience. Lots of practice I guess
Hey I know this video is old but I hope you still reply , I’ve tried your method & it works but how do you keep the lashes from drooping down ? I find myself always having to push them up so they don’t look weird idk
I had trich for 4 years and I still do, it started with my eyebrows first then my hair then my eyelashes and it’s very hard for me to cover it cause I’m 15 and I can’t wear false lashes to school and sometimes people notice it I told my sister and she said you should see a psychiatrist but I don’t feel comfortable talking about it at all
You have to see someone. It will never go away and getting meds and learning how to deal with your anxiety is the only way. You aren't alone and it's ok. Therapists aren't in that business to judge you they're there to help you. I promise they'll help you find a way to cope.
I deadass have this problem daily I am literally bald in my left eye 😂 just like you and I still have all my lashes on my right eye I’m still in high school and my biggest struggle is to get up in the morning feeling insecure about myself Bc I’m bald in one eye so it literally takes for EVER to get ready. And my mom literally took all of my brand new eye lashes I just got 🤦♀️
I do this all the time! I just discovered I have tranchotillomania and it's such a relief to know I'm not crazy. Lol. I liked this vid! Thanks for sharing :)
Trich is so tough, with lockdown I have pulled out a lot of my lashes on both eyes, I hate myself and regret it so much, I find it so difficult to apply lashes when i have huge gaps
I'm 13, so I would know. What my mom does is she hides all she tweezers from me or anything else I can use to pull, and sometimes she give me rewards if I let them grow out. It's never something big, maybe just like go to a movie or something like that. The best thing by far is just support her and tell her she is beautiful with or without eyelashes
Thank you so much for this video I grew my eyelashes back but I relapsed tonight on my right eye 🙁 so I’ve never used false eyelashes and this is going to help so much ❤️
Beeta, I’m so glad to meet another large eyed girl! You’re beautiful! I just cannot get the hang of the false lashes but I want to!! I have been plucking my lashes for four years or so. Completely bald on the top lids! As soon as they start to grow back in (like when I’m so sick I’m on my death bed and not looking in a mirror) as soon as I do look in a mirror, those little nubbs look dirty! I don’t know. I can’t stand it. And how do you get your eye liner not to transfer to the bottom?? Ugh!!!
it actually is possible to apply a band to your eye with no eyelashes while also it not being noticable. ive been wearing eyelashes for 4 years. ive had trich for 5 years. I've learned a lot. put the lashes as close to your lash line as possible and use stick liner to cover the space between your lash line and false lashes. it makes them look real.
I have suffered from trichotillomania for years, never knew it was a common thing. I have absolutely no lashes or brows anymore. It's the most embarrassing thing, I rarely leave the house. I have left them alone for months, but they will not grow back 😭
THANK YOU for the tip about the lightweight band. I struggle really bad with applying them, I have NO LASHES (top or bottom). I haven't had lashes since I was a child, so when I do try applying them it feels so unnatural to me. So I would opt to only use one set of lashes. But if my falsies aren't long enough do you think applying single lashes on the ends would work? And have you ever tried applying only single lashes? And lastly, you asked if we could tell which eye has real lashes and which eye doesn't... The ONLY reason I could tell was cause I looked really hard after you asked, and I could see that it was a little thicker on the outer edge. But I seriously had to look HARD. I would not have know if I wouldn't have watched you put them on. Thank you🌷
@@jawsjules omg I heard weed dose this to some people ... when my cousin first told me this I thought he was totally crazy but I guess it has adverse effects on some people... I HATE that it makes you and my cousin feel this way because I smoke weed every single day and it gives me anxiety when I don't smoke it's such a helpful tool. Wish you could smoke!!!!
Tysm for this video. I suffer from job's syndrome and have lost all my hair and all my eyebrows and lashes (except a few). My eyelashes and eyebrows are really blonde with my natural color being strawberry blonde but i wear brunette wigs...would you still go with black lashes and black eyeliner?
Thank you so much! I have a hard time applying mines. I don't have any on both eyes. My anxiety can get pretty bad. They are some what coming back if I keep wearing falsies.
I dont have trichotillomania, but I do have Alopecia. My eyelashes fell out and grew back in so small, blonde, and thin smh. So ty for doing this video! I miss wearing make up so much.
Was having such a rough night feeling guilty for pulling all my lashes out for the millionth time in 8 years.. but this made me feel so much better and less self conscious thank you for this ♥️
Zoe McLean hey I feel the f' n way .. U made me feel better. Much luv
Feeling the same way, I pulled out a whole bunch today after not doing it for a while. Huge gap and I have prom in two weeks :(
Same! Im soo glad that i found people that are the same as me. But i can't apply false lashes because im only 10 years old. I wish i could stop!
Zoe McLean OMG I thought I was the only one who did it i thought I was the weirdest person on earth
Zoe McLean. Hi I have it too. Hope you feel better
Omg I have the same problem. I'll stress and just pull my eyelashes out and then the next day when I'm putting my makeup on I'm like ugh so mad at myself for doing it. It's so hard!
+Jennifer Martinez I feeels youuu😩
BEETABEAUTYTV I was legit plucking..... while i watched
Jennifer Martinez same here. People think I'm weird or from the UK because i look different from pulling my eyelashes out. I cover with eyeliner because im embarrassed
Jennifer Martinez I know! I had this since 11 . I beat this for 15 years, but because of crappy miscara, i started pulling again. Now the urge to pull lashes is none existent because I want a no make up face!
Ypu can beat this. Put eyelashes on and take a picture. Every time you try to pull look at your picture with lashes and talk yourself in not pulling because you love your lashes. I pull my leg hairs instead!
Jennifer Martinez it's ok I deal with it to I wear my lashes alot so I don't pull at my lashes
The worst is the next day after you pull all the eyelashes out AND THEN UR ENTIRE EYE AREA PUFFS UP LIKE A BALLOON AND EYEONE IS LIEK "WHAT HAPPENED" AND U GOTTA PRETENED THEY ARE BLIND AND U LOOK THE SAME
UPSET ME SPAGHETTI FOR REAL
UPSET ME SPAGHETTI THISSSSS
Relatable 🤧
I'm a guy, and I have this problem. Idk, you'd think as a man, it wouldn't matter what my eyelashes look like right? I've not found life easy 😂.
glass blanket I remember when I started in third grade and I came back after one weekend and everyone asked all I said was my eyelashes were clear 😂
I just want people to know that you can stop!!! I used to pull out every single eyelash I had. It felt so good I just couldn't stop but after 2/3 years of looking terrible and having zero self confidence I finally decided to stop. It was a really long and hard process but I did!

Thank you so much!!! Also thanks to everyone else who commented and admitted they do this too. I don't know why I started doing this, and I honestly didn't even make the connection that it's stress induced. I will pray for all of us for healing from this. ❤️
Thank you so much for this video!! I have trich too and I was having a rough night and this made me feel so much less ashamed and alone! Thank you for being so real and making this video!
+kenziemacbrown Don't feel ashamed girl😘 Sending you lots of love❤❤❤
I’m a tricher and THIS video MEANS SO MUCH !!!!!!
I also have Trichotillomania, Currently in high school. I started in 1st grade. I still pull my eyelashes and eyebrow hairs out, but not as much as I used to back then. Finally someone who I can relate to. My mother used to and still does confronts me of my hair pulling and always asks “why did you pull your eyelash/eyebrow hair out?” Once I tell her “I don’t know.” She makes me more ashamed of having pulled out my eyelash. Nowadays I haven’t pulled out my hair that much, if I do pull it out, the patch would be visible if you look twice.
I’ve had trich for 30 years, I’ve learned to embrace it and know I’m still beautiful! I’ve pulled out eyelashes, brows and hair! My eyebrows and hair mattered more to me so I got eyebrows tattooed on and I wear hats constantly pulling or not so I’m not tempted! Mirror get rid of and try and stay busy , being bored tends to set me off so.... also remember your not alone man or women child or matured! We all have something we are fighting ! Embrace it and know your worth!!! God bless 🥰
Thank you for putting yourself out there!
+Kelsey Woods ❤❤❤
Kelsey Woods I beat this by pulling my leg and arm pit hairs instead. Now nobody sais a word which is what I wanted!
This video was so encouraging. I've been dealing with Trich for over 30 yrs. I had no idea I could wear false lashes without real lashes. Thank you
Thank you for sharing! I just went thru a major a relapse and pulled out almost all my upper eyelashes. This makeup technique helps so much while I recover.
Thank you so much!! I’m 13 and mines about like yours. I’ll get better and then Get stressed and relapse... you know, teenage girls can’t be very mean so definitely doesn’t help. This is gonna help me feel so much better about myself:))) god bless you, have A great day!
Girl you are the bomb for doing this. I am still a complete nutcase about exposing my eyes without makeup, hEaLtHy. This is legit inspirational, and actually helpful, rare combo!
Ive had this problem for years and started wesring alot of makeup and eyeliner to make myself feel better. Going through the comments and seeing everyone who has this. Im the only one i know who has it. Its embarrassing and im glad theres other people who know how it feels and how open they are about it
OMG I have the same problem quite a few years and I did not know I wasn't alone thank you for putting yourself out there you are still gorgeous
Thank you for being so brave and sharing this video! It's really comforting to know I'm not the only one who struggles with this.
This has saved my life. Thank you for this. I got told you cant apply strip lashes if you dont have any of your own. So wow!! Thank you. Im going to buy some and practice. Your so beautiful. Keep it up 💪 x
I love this so much I've had trich since I was very young and have always had troubles covering up with anything other than thiccc ass eyeliner. Also just a tip to people do NOT put any glue on your eyes if your lashline is bruised or have been pulled that day to avoid eye Infections cause we gon get them easier anyway 💕💕💕
Honestly thank you for this a million times. 8 years for me and I hate myself every day. I let them grow back and do it all again.
Janine Pinto Please don't hate yourself. I'm 13 and I got diagnosed with trich when I was 11 and trust me, Middle School + Trich = The worst bullying you will ever see..
40 years for me! I started when I was 10. I just pulled all the ones on my left side out 3 days ago. Medication helps. I wear glasses so that's a life saver for me at work but at home self control and awaremess is the only way to slow it down. I just accept it now.
Thanks for sharing! I have suffered from trich for 23 years now. Have been using falsies for the last 15 years...i go no where with out them! I also have pulled brows but did get them microbladed this year and I am glad I did microblading mimics real eyebrow hair.
I wanna hug you right now i just pulled all my eyelashes yesterday 😧😧😧 i wanna just cry. You're a life saver !!! Thank youuu
I HATE TRICH.....WILL IT EVER END FOR MEEEEE :(
THANKS for the video though gonna try this TONIGHT!!!
+Theresa From the Miramichi From my experience I believe it's all mental & heavily dependent on self control❤
Theresa From the Miramichi Yes it will. Try pulling leg hairs instead! It does the same thing. The feeling is the same as well when you pull leg hairs out!
I️ was diagnosed with trich when I️ was 5 and now I’m 18 and I’ve learned to control it but sometimes my stress level get out of hand and I️ do it but not much
When will it end is right! 15 years later and im still pulling these lashes!!! I've gotten a little better by leaving my brows alone but my top lids are baldy!!!!
YES!!! I'M NOT ALONE!!! I don't usually comment on much of any videos...like at all. I'm so glad I came across this video. I suffer from "Trichotillomania" and recently I have wanted to try lashes, but since I had no lashes, I didn't think it was possible to. Thanks so much for this video it helped a lot. :)
I just gave up trying to stop pulling years ago. No biggie. Thanks so much for the video, I cannot tell you are even wearing false lashes!!!!
I have a severe form of trich and this video helped me so much. I got microblading done for my brows but not having lashes is always tough. Thank you for all your help! 💕💕💕
I just accidentally pulled out most my eyelashes on my left eyelid 3 mins ago because my sister scared me while i was curling my lashes. I was so stressed on how i was gonna go to school tomorrow with this and then i saw this video and i thankfully have eyelash adhesive and fake eyelashes! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ADVICE THIS VIDEO WAS A LIFESAVER
You're so beautiful ❤ you're amazing for being transparent because you truly empower others going through the same thing to feel good about themselves no matter what
+Gessica Parisi Rodriguez aweee sooo sweet, thank you for the kind words ❤❤❤
I am 61, and had the problem since I was 13 - today they don’t grow out anymore... so if you can, STOP doing it. It gets harder and harder to make a good line, on old lids 😊
May I ask: When did you notice they stopped growing back at what age roughly? I was 13 as well when I got diagnosed with trich and now am 31..
Cee-Cee Rockwell around when I was 35 a part of them didn’t grow back and at 40 there were none. If you could stop please do it. I am so sad I didn’t...
I pulled mine out (top ones)around 10 years old..Here we are 30 plus years later and they haven't grown back at all..
.I must of completely damaged the hair follicle at as a child....Thank goodness for youtube and falsies, and others like me who experience this condition so I don't feel alone..Many people lashes grow back.. Mines didn't grow back AT ALL...Before wearing falsies, all I had was my bottom long lashes because my top ones were( still are ) done for....Black eyeliner was and still is my best friend😉😉🙂
Thank you for this!!! I have this condition as well. I've had it since i was about 5 years old. My 21st bday is in less than a month and I just want to look as good as possible at least for that day! I have such difficulty putting on false lashes but this is great! Thank you!
Loved your video, your personality and voice are awesome. I ripped my lashes out with my curler, root and all, just on one eye!!! This video has been a godsend. Thank you!!!!
Mine started when i was about 30, I'd never had the urge before then. I just love the sting when i get a "good one" if that makes sense. Its been afew years now and I've made some progress, I only pull bottom lashes now and not as often :/
Thank you for making this I have had scarce lashes for so long because of tricho
Such a great video! I’ve been suffering since the 2nd grade and it’s so hard to stop. Thank you so much and I appreciate your honesty.
This is great because my daughter has it and has no lashes she going to be so happy thank you so much my daughter 13 been with the disease sense 2 years old so thank you🙏🥰
I literally thought I was the only one!!! what?! I needed this
Thanks I’ve had trichotillomania for about 7 years
I just had a relapse, and I’m 13 years old. This reeeally relieves stress for me, but only creates more when I realize how many lashes I’ve pulled. I’m going out to get lashes today in hopes to help me to stop pulling and also help my self esteem. 💖💖 thank you
thank you to you, and all the beauties commenting on this video. i have struggled for 14 years... it’s so hard. i am just happy to learn i am not alone. 🖤
I've had trichotillomania since I was in 1st grade and I still have none lol so I'm thankful for these kind of videos . ❤
I didn’t think anyone else had this problem. I am happy that I’m not alone. I was bullied in elementary school for pulling my eyebrows and eyelashes in class. I was trying to find a way to glue lashes on even though I have some patches. Thank you😌
GREAT VIDEO! I'M A NEWBIE TO YOUR CHANEL I'M A TRICKSTA MYSELF! SO I TOTALLY KNOW AND UNDERSTAND I HAVE NO LASHES ON EITHER EYE I WEAR LASHES BUT ONLY WHEN I GO OUT BUT WATCHIN THIS VIDEO YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME ALL OVER AGAIN TO ROCK MY LASHES!BUT YOU DID THOSE LASHES HUNTY! LOVE THEM THEY ARE DOPE!!
Thank you I am a chronic sufferer of eyelash pulling 😭❤ and i am so bad i now need to turn to you for make up guidance
Just found this video and I’ve never tried to do falsies because I just assume they won’t stay but this made me want to buy some and try!!! Also I model and it makes me feel like shit every time a MUA is like “it’s not working omg you don’t have any lashes or they’re so short” so this really inspired me to just try to do my own so MUAs can stfu and not make me feel like shit 😭😭😭 tysm
this video was so helpful for me. I've been looking for this exact technique for months. Thank you so much.
I kinda got over pulling mine out and tried to just bend the eyelashes with my fingers and brush my eyelashes with my fingertips instead of pulling the entire hair out and it worked. I was so fed up having no eyelashes so give it a go.
How tf...I literally cry a river when I try to line my upper lash line. You did it so effortlessly. I'm shook 😭😭😭
i have had Trich since I was 7 after a childhood trauma. I have tried all sort of lashes and nothing worked until I found the brand I currently use. I love it so much I sell it! I have never actually seen others as bald as me. Thank you for sharing! If you are interested in the brand I found, please comment below. I don't know if anyone including the leader of this group have affiliations with other brands. I love my magnetics! no glue to get stuck in the few lashes you have!!!
I have trich too! Thank you for this👏🏼
Has anyone used latisse for trichotillomania? I can go 3 or 4 months without pulling and growing back then back faster would help out a lot Bc I want to pull them out less when they're full.
I'm the same. Latisse works amazing
Thank you so much cause I have no lashes and you have given me hope to do it myself 💕
Thank you :( I’m 11 years old right now and I’ve had trichotillomania for 3 years now. People at my school get bullied if they wear fake lashes, makeup etc so im going to try to find some for natural looking ones so that doesn’t happen to me. Since we’re in quarantine and if I actually get fake eyelashes I could probably fool some people because it would make sense because my eyelashes could grow in that time. 🙂
Thank you for posting this! I never knew what this was, but I’ve been pulling my eyelashes ever since I was 15! However recently it’s gotten a lot worse! I have bald spots in the center of my eye and decided to get fake eyelashes because I feel like people are staring at my eyelashes and think they look weird... I’ve been wearing them for a week and haven’t pulled them at all! I feel like I can finally look put together and pretty now!
I’m so glad I stumbled upon your page. I’ve had this condition since the age of 9 and was always made fun of for it. I’ve never felt pretty without eyeliner, lashes and glue close by. It’s so hard to resist the urge to pull while stressed and having remorse the next day. Is there a support group for this?
I know this is old but thank you for this. I have trich. I’ve never seen this idea. This looks great!
Tjank yu!!! I have the same problem didnt know what yu called it but i been suffering from it since i was 13yrs old when
You did an AMAZING job on those lashes! I am dealing with trichtillomania...and need to try this bc I didn't think it was possible. Plus with falsies it prevents from plucking bc I am forced not to or ruin the look altogether. I did have some applied when I had small growth but never with out any....wish me luck!
I’m glad I found this video. I pull out my eye lashes and brows out. I’m older but I always sucked at make up. I always afraid to put fake eyelashes while having no real lashes.
i have this condition but when i want to grow out my eyelashes fast i like to use rosemary oil on my eyelids and on the part where my eyelashes are supposed to be.
Having a younger cuz with the same I did not understand,,,,,,,,BUT cancer not only taught me her struggles but to understand that I was the lucky one to eventually have it or have it to never return is something that I needed to accept, whereby she has to knowingly and consciously decide EVERY MOMENT with Trichotillomania her strength. So I salute you for sharing and teachings. BLESSINGS, LACONDESALATINA.
+lacondesalatina ❤❤❤
Thank you so much, I’ve always felt ugly over having no lashes and I could never get them to look right! ❤️
Thank you so much! I’m going to highschool this year and I needed a way to do this bc I thought bc I had nun there was no way at all I could use them but then I found you! I’m going to try this!
I been trying to figure out how to not look weird when using eyelashes since I have none as well. I see that I may need to double it up
I didn't think of it either. I might try but I will be in the bathroom for hours to get them to look like hers and I have zero patience. Lots of practice I guess
Not too many guys with this issue. It's tough.
Yea I feel you, I’m so use to seeing myself with butchered eyelashes that when they finally grow back everyone thinks I’m wearing eye liner 😑
Hey I know this video is old but I hope you still reply , I’ve tried your method & it works but how do you keep the lashes from drooping down ? I find myself always having to push them up so they don’t look weird idk
Beautiful! I have destroyed my lashes by using permanent lash glue for years. I'm going to rehab my lashes using your tips! Thank you!
Still gorgeous, even without the eyelashes
+A Wallie ❤❤
I had trich for 4 years and I still do, it started with my eyebrows first then my hair then my eyelashes and it’s very hard for me to cover it cause I’m 15 and I can’t wear false lashes to school and sometimes people notice it I told my sister and she said you should see a psychiatrist but I don’t feel comfortable talking about it at all
You have to see someone. It will never go away and getting meds and learning how to deal with your anxiety is the only way. You aren't alone and it's ok. Therapists aren't in that business to judge you they're there to help you. I promise they'll help you find a way to cope.
I deadass have this problem daily I am literally bald in my left eye 😂 just like you and I still have all my lashes on my right eye I’m still in high school and my biggest struggle is to get up in the morning feeling insecure about myself Bc I’m bald in one eye so it literally takes for EVER to get ready.
And my mom literally took all of my brand new eye lashes I just got 🤦♀️
I've always wanted to wear fake lashes but I was scared due to not having lashes because of my Trich. This video is amazing! Thank you so much!
I do this all the time! I just discovered I have tranchotillomania and it's such a relief to know I'm not crazy. Lol. I liked this vid! Thanks for sharing :)
Trich is so tough, with lockdown I have pulled out a lot of my lashes on both eyes, I hate myself and regret it so much, I find it so difficult to apply lashes when i have huge gaps
my daughter has that, shes been pulling her hair since she was 9, shes 17😭. can you make a video about this, i don't know how to help her..
+Fabiola Batres I have a video about this on my channel.. hope she is able to overcome it 😘😘
I'm 13, so I would know. What my mom does is she hides all she tweezers from me or anything else I can use to pull, and sometimes she give me rewards if I let them grow out. It's never something big, maybe just like go to a movie or something like that. The best thing by far is just support her and tell her she is beautiful with or without eyelashes
Thank you so much for this video I grew my eyelashes back but I relapsed tonight on my right eye 🙁 so I’ve never used false eyelashes and this is going to help so much ❤️
Bish! I'm stealing ur technique...gonna start doubling up my eyelashes lol You look gorgeous.
Girl! I'm back to say I stole ur method and I look fab lol
Beeta, your OG meal prep video changed my life for real! 🥗❤️ keep doing you, boo!
+Jessica Lewis ohhhh girllll that makes me soo happy to hear❤❤❤
I have the same issue! And I have pictures for our family and I needed eyelashes on
Beeta, I’m so glad to meet another large eyed girl! You’re beautiful! I just cannot get the hang of the false lashes but I want to!! I have been plucking my lashes for four years or so. Completely bald on the top lids! As soon as they start to grow back in (like when I’m so sick I’m on my death bed and not looking in a mirror) as soon as I do look in a mirror, those little nubbs look dirty! I don’t know. I can’t stand it. And how do you get your eye liner not to transfer to the bottom?? Ugh!!!
it actually is possible to apply a band to your eye with no eyelashes while also it not being noticable. ive been wearing eyelashes for 4 years. ive had trich for 5 years. I've learned a lot. put the lashes as close to your lash line as possible and use stick liner to cover the space between your lash line and false lashes. it makes them look real.
I have suffered from trichotillomania for years, never knew it was a common thing. I have absolutely no lashes or brows anymore. It's the most embarrassing thing, I rarely leave the house. I have left them alone for months, but they will not grow back 😭
Thank you for this! As someone with trich this is so helpful!
Perfect. You make them look like your own. Wow
This was so brave of you! 💜 beautiful as always.
+Katie Lynn 💜💜💜
I love how raw and honest you are Beeta 💕💕💕 I freaken love you! #cheetahgang
+Enna Alveno Love you tooo girllll ❤❤
THANK YOU for the tip about the lightweight band. I struggle really bad with applying them, I have NO LASHES (top or bottom). I haven't had lashes since I was a child, so when I do try applying them it feels so unnatural to me. So I would opt to only use one set of lashes. But if my falsies aren't long enough do you think applying single lashes on the ends would work? And have you ever tried applying only single lashes?
And lastly, you asked if we could tell which eye has real lashes and which eye doesn't... The ONLY reason I could tell was cause I looked really hard after you asked, and I could see that it was a little thicker on the outer edge. But I seriously had to look HARD. I would not have know if I wouldn't have watched you put them on. Thank you🌷
Thanks for this video, I have suffered from this since high school.
Weed helps to with stress
Marissa White that's the only way in coping now and falsies
Complete opposite for me. It gives me so much more anxiety and paranoia. I wish it didn't but oh well.
@@jawsjules omg I heard weed dose this to some people ... when my cousin first told me this I thought he was totally crazy but I guess it has adverse effects on some people... I HATE that it makes you and my cousin feel this way because I smoke weed every single day and it gives me anxiety when I don't smoke it's such a helpful tool. Wish you could smoke!!!!
Not me i smoke and pluck lol
Tysm for this video. I suffer from job's syndrome and have lost all my hair and all my eyebrows and lashes (except a few). My eyelashes and eyebrows are really blonde with my natural color being strawberry blonde but i wear brunette wigs...would you still go with black lashes and black eyeliner?
Thank you so much! I have a hard time applying mines. I don't have any on both eyes. My anxiety can get pretty bad. They are some what coming back if I keep wearing falsies.
I dont have trichotillomania, but I do have Alopecia. My eyelashes fell out and grew back in so small, blonde, and thin smh. So ty for doing this video! I miss wearing make up so much.
I just love your personality!!!! You should look up Monat eyelash and brow serum it's non toxic and will help your lashes grow faster! ❤️❤️❤️
+Lauren's Look Thanksss girll 😘😘😘
