    Default OMG my hair!!!! This is the craziest thing I have ever seen (trypophobia warning)

    I warn about trypophobia because I have kind of a mild case of it myself and this is definitely one of those things causing me to freak the fuck out over it.


    I admit that I do not take care of my hair like I should, bad bad me, the problem I have now probably has a lot to do with that issue alone. I also twist my hair constantly and had a severe case of Trichotillomania as a teenager and still have a very mild case of it to this day. To get to what is going on. I was sitting there twisting my hair (like usual) and picking at it about 3 weeks ago and noticed it seemed to be doing something very unusual. My individual hair strands all of a sudden seemed to be getting thinner and thinner and multiplying. I started panicking for a minute and figured it was just my nerves, I thought I might have even been hallucinating. I picked up a section of hair and it seemed very feather like, with no weight to it at all and all of a sudden all the hairs in that section started literally falling apart in my hand, like seriously splitting into multiple different hairs. It seemed like it all started happening at one time, and all of my hair just transformed at that moment, I no longer had one single thick hair on my head, some of them split so thin they were almost barely visible. For the next couple of weeks, my hair started shedding everywhere, my dark sheets were covered in micro hairs that shedded out, my brush, the shower, the carpet, everywhere. It has finally started letting up the past couple of days and the hair I have left is badly damaged and seeming like it is slowly starting that same process.



    It gets worse, I was putting on mascara the other night and noticed it wasn't applying right. I looked closer at my eyelashes and they started doing the same thing my head hair did. They were all splitting and had multiplied times 10. They are all so thin I can't even wear mascara because it won't stick.

    I did some research on what this could be and by the symptoms it sounds like a condition called Pili Bifurcati. It is where multiple hairs form out of one follicle, grow into one hair and eventually split up, causing shedding and loss of hair. This is where the
    trypophobia warning comes in, or whatever phobia it is that would cause me to be so freaked out and disgusted by this.

    Has anyone had anything similar happen? Or does anyone know anything about this and wht I could do? I've thought about just shaving all of my hair off, every single head hair and body hair I have, but shaving it won't even stop it if it is a deeper issue causing it.

    I tried getting a picture of my eyelashes but not sure how well it will show, I'll post it anyways. The white areas you see are hairs that are splitting, definitely not normal to see in eyelashes. The quantity of them is massive, my hairs are a clear blonde color and nowhere near that thick looking normally.

    Gosh, can you go see a Dr @ all? I know nothing about this..DON'T go shaving just yet. Maybe you could try some vitamins? I had some regular (somewhat heavy shedding) I thought was hair loss, but it was seasonal..
    Are you by a Sally's Beauty? If so, get some African Pride brand Braid Spray, it's very soothing & healing for your scalp. Can you stop pulling on your hair too?
    There's also a cheap product, I really haven't used it much so Idk if it works, but it's OGX Root stimulator w/niacine/caffiene, it's a rood spray, prob like 7.00 @ the drugstore or Ulta.
    Maybe a gentle scalp massage w/finger tips.
    For your lashes, they have that serum, it's kinda pricey.
    Sorry I can't be much help

    No don't really wanna rack up more doctors bills to go get it checked to more than likely just hear the same thing I've already found online about this. I think it is from all of the stress, not getting enough nutrients, taking poor care of my hair, dehydration, etc..

    I need to try to remember to get some coconut oil, that is what I was recommended earlier, it is supposed to be very good for your hair.

    From what it is doing the only thing I probably can do at this point is just let this cycle my hair is in complete and try to start taking better care of it at the same time while staying much more healthy as in actually eating and staying hydrated for sure.

    What eyelash serum are you referring to? A serum for growth? The biggest issue I'm going to have is definitely all of the brittle broken hairs already all over my head and gonna be the same situation with my eyelashes so definitely need something to strenghten my hair and help it grow again.

    Oh, to bring up the pulling on my hair, it is a lifelong habit I have, it is next to implossible for me to quit, ughh it gets so frustrating though. I don't even hardly know I even do it, I'll catch myself and try to make myself stop, but its like an addiction all by itself. After I catch myself twisting my hair, I'll get stuck there picking in my hair and wanting to get rid of all of the damaged and split hairs, so I'm sure being like that caused a lot of this problem too, if it didn't cause the majority of it.

    There isn't a Sally's Beauty anywhere around here but I'll look that stuff up and maybe order some online to try it out. Thank you for your recommendations for sure

    &, there's gotta be some way to make you stop pulling..I know it's a long standing habit. How about look on you tube, there's lots of vids to help w/stuff.

    I am sorry for what I am about to say. I am not trying to offend you or be a bitch, I am seriously coming from a place of caring and concern. I think it is all in your head. Your eyelashes look fine to me. If you have trichotillomania (the disease that causes people to rip their hair out) then your mind is playing tricks on you. Trypophobia is a fear of holes, in case anyone does not know the difference. You likely need psychological help. Also, that image of a "hair" that you found online IMO is a lock of multiple hairs. I have had psychological and emotion issues in the past so I understand what it is to fixate and spiral into something. I really don't think your hairs are splitting. As far as hair falling out more than usual, it is seasonal. I forgot the name for it but I had that happen in the past and went to my Dr. and he said it was normal. Try a vitamin complex and maybe a slight trim. Also, Castor oil is amazing for the lashes. But, please figure out what is happening in your head.

    Miramichele, you really should go to a doctor asap. Probably a dermatologist asap. I'm sorry that you're going through this. It sounds awful.

    At the beginning of this happening I was really trying to convince myself that it was all in my head, and that I was losing my mind. I really figured I probably was because all of the stressthing things I have been going through the past few months (complete different story I'm not goona bring up). When I first noticed it yes I was sure I was imaging it and I kept having panic attacks over it until my friends that were around noticed me acting weird. I finally told one of my girlfriends and she noticed it too, my roommate was right there at the same time and he could also tell. They both say what I saw my hair doing, and felt the same thing with the difference in weight and texture.

    I might be imaging it being worse than what it really is and the whole trypophobia thing is cause it is similar to that phobia, but I have no clue what exactly it would be called. Trypophobia is a fear of clusters of holes. What is happening here is my hair is forming into clusters growing out from my scalp because of multiple hairs forming from one follicle, so it does have a relation to trypophobia in that way, kind of, it was the only way I could try to explain it to make sense and I'm sure there is a better word for it but I can't find it. Numerous hairs forming in one follicle is actually pretty common, that is called Pili Multigemini, which is what that condition is called when multiple hairs form out of follicle on body hairs, it forming on the head is considered to be more rare and is the condition I mentioned in my OP, Pili Bifurcati.

    Here is a photo of Pili Multigemini


    That shows almost exactly what my head hair is doing, splitting in that way but some of the sections of hair I've noticed are 10 times that amount of hair, and some are so thin that they just have no weight, even touching them makes them just seem like the hair is completely dissolving. When I looked closely at my eyeslashes, the volume seemed much thicker, but in reality they are not thicker in a healthy way, and there are numerous lashes in one follicle that look just like the picture I just posted. You can't really tell by the photo I posted. people that get these conditions definitely freak out over it and notice it a lot worse than someone else would notice it just by looking at them. My eyelashes usually don't have half of that amount of volume, and tiny eyelashes have been constantly falling out in my eyes so hey are shedding just like my head hair has been.

    The Pili terms I mentioned are obviously the medical terms for this problem, theres more widely used terms for this kind of stuff happening to your hair. Some examples are bulb hair, different hair shaft disorders, infected hair follicles, theres more but that's just a few of the more popular ways to describe hair that does similar things.

    Oh my... well just what I can take from that picture -- your eyelashes look fine to me, but then again only we can notice the little details about ourselves. I have a mild form of trichotillomania too -- I've been twisting and pulling my hair since I was a kid and it's a very compulsive, almost unstoppable habit -- it's taken its toll on my hairline for sure -- you can pull at my hair as hard as you can and I basically can't feel it at all because I've pulled at it so much. I put my hair in really tight braids all the time too and that doesn't help.

    What I do to curb the damage on my hair is twice a week I use a hair mask of olive oil, coconut oil, and castor oil. I mix them all together and run them with my fingers and then a fine toothed comb from the scalp all the way to the root. Leave it in for about 2 hours, then wash very thoroughly with a sulfate free shampoo + conditioner. Right now I use Acure Organics shampoo, then follow it by Phyto Volumizing shampoo and conditioner (from Sephora). I've experimented with a lot of different products and found these to work the best for maintaining and strengthening.

    With the oil mixture, you can also take a little bit on a q-tip or mascara brush (obviously not from your mascara bottle, a new clean one specifically for the oils lol) and apply it on your lashes -- I admittedly do this every day and have found no difference in my lashes, but for sure with the hair on my scalp its very effective.

    As well I exercise regularly and eat pretty well -- that's helped a lot. I got a tip from one of the girls here about N-Acetylcysteine for trichotillomania -- unfortunately I only recently bought it and it's only been about 3 weeks since adding it to my vitamin regimen (whole food multivitamin, flax oil) so I can't say it's helped but I'm going to come back and post progress once I've experimented with it longer.

    Don't trip !!!! You still have your lashes!!!! One of these girls I work with has pulled almost all her lashes off and her eyebrows are literally ONE INCH long in the middle -- I don't even think she bothers to draw them in to look normal anymore because she picks at it so much that she'll probably smudge the pencil. Anyway good luck!!!!! xo

    OK. Well if you have ruled out it being in your head, I recommend to go to a Dr. I am not sure if an dermatologist would be able to help you but maybe an internist? Do you have insurance? Maybe they can recommend somebody to you. And I am sorry about what I said in the other post. It is just your eyelashes look fine to me.

    Thank you for that info, I'll have to try a similar technique to try to make my hair healthier. I'll go online to get some shampoos and conditioners like you have mentioned because we have none of those kind of stores anywhere around where I live, about my only options are Wal-Mart and Hyvee.

    Sadly I'm probably going to have to chop off a good 6 inches of my hair because of how badly damaged it is, my hair is waist length and the longer sections are down to my butt so it'll still be long but 6 inches is a lot :/

    When I wasw a teenager and had a more severe case of Tri I would sit there and pull my hair out constant, hours and hours at a time just pulling individual strands of hair out. I was made fun of in school because that is where I did it the most. I would sit in class doing my school work and pulling my hair out at the same time, there would be a noticable pile of hair under my desk everyday, and every class. How did I even still have hair I wonder? I only ever did it on my head hair, any other hairs on my body never affected me in any way.

    I am not nearly that bad anymore, but I'll still twist my hair constantly and search my hair for really damaged individual strands, and I'll seperate them or pull them out. Also if I have an annoying itch on my scalp I'll pull out hairs that seem to be in that area somehow making it worse, even though I'm sure my strands of hair aren't actually causing my head to itch.

    Thanks for that, I've actually never heard of an internist but I looked it up and that might be a good option. I don't currently have any insurance but hopefully soon I will. Don't apologize about saying what you did, you didn't say anything wrong. Maybe I was just panicking over my eyelashes and imagined it, but when I noticed it happen on my eyelashes it was just so weird, my eyelashes were noticeably split on the ends and had those white specs you see in split hairs and they have never done that before. Also they were shedding which I've never noticed my eyelashes do, and they were definitely looked more volumized. Idk, this is all really just so weird to me that I do not know what to think anymore lol.

    My lashes (which are very long and thick- like double layered) also have "split ends". My Mom accused me of smoking weed before because of it. She was nuts! Lol. If something is happening on the surface of your body; there is usually an internal cause for it. I am not saying you have a bad diet; but maybe you are missing certain nutrients. E and B vitamins are good for follicles. Maybe you have an intolerance to something. Every blood type has a best diet. There are a lot of "skin, nail and hair" type of vitamin complexes out there that will likely improve the texture of your hair; plus the advice given above for your head hair.

    This's why I suggested Youtube, it may sound weird..I was dealing w/a narcissist, & they have vids on there to help w/that.
    So maybe they'd have something like that for trypophibia or whatever it's called.
    But yea, going to a Dr'd be better, if possible

    gahhhh I totally feel you!!! In addition to pulling and twisting I do these little tiny braids constantly, one of my girlfriends will slap my hand out of the way when she notices I can't stop. It's a very hard habit to break. I definitely think you should offset the damage you're inflicting on your scalp with those products -- you can definitely order the shampoos online through Amazon. The coconut and olive oil from the grocery store, castor from any beauty supply shop. It'll nourish the roots, help make them stronger and more resistant to the pulling as well as help with the itching sensation that comes from the dryness of the scalp.
    Unsophisticated in the finest sense of the word.

If something is happening on the surface of your body; there is usually an internal cause for it. I am not saying you have a bad diet; but maybe you are missing certain nutrients. E and B vitamins are good for follicles. Maybe you have an intolerance to something. Every blood type has a best diet. There are a lot of "skin, nail and hair" type of vitamin complexes out there that will likely improve the texture of your hair; plus the advice given above for your head hair.
    Oh yea I'm sure my body is competely depleted of numerous vitamins and nutrients I need. I've lost a lot of weight I already couldn't afford to lose from not eating for days in a row, and when I would eat it definitey wasn't healthy. I was eating a lot of dollar menu burgers from Burger King cause I had no food in my house, and sometimes that one burger would be all I would eat for 2-3 days. Yuck. My stress has been letting up and ever since I've noticed this start getting better and I've started getting my appetite back and eating much better, so just me eating better seems to be reversing it a lot I think.

    Oh about the tiny braids, I do something similar too. I'll pick up a small section and twist it around so much that it bunches up into a little twist braid like thing, don't know exactly what to call it. They end up forming knots all over my head from me just forgetting about them to go make more little twist braids, then the next time I brush my hair is when I find them and that alone causes lots of damage I'm sure. Lol it really sucks and is the worst habit ever. I can probably quit smoking before I could quit this but it is also so frustrating.

    People notice me doing it and tell me to put my hair up to leave it alone. Putting my hair up only makes me doing the twist braids worse. It makes me want to pull little sections down or just twist the little sections of hair that naturally stay down so I end up looking like a crazy person with my hair in a bun and little twisted up sections hanging down all over the place lmao.

    Your last few posts have probably signaled the problem. Try a vitamin and to also nourish the hair from the outside. Hopefully, you will see improvement in the next few weeks.

    Yea true, I've pretty much answered what is wrong by saying what I have been doing so damaging to my hair. I might not have even thought about it without the help of you girls though, thanks for that I'm going to check out Amazon to get those shampoos and will get the ingredients I don't already have for the rest to get my hair healthier that way too.
