How does trich begin?

  • Trich generally begins in adolescence, with the average age of onset between 11-13 years of age.
  • People sometimes start pulling after a stressful life event or loss such as a death, move, or divorce. Some people with trich report starting to pull after witnessing another person pulling their hair, while others remember being told that wishes can be made on eyelashes. While trich can occur in response to a host of early stressors or life events, many people report no preceding event or trigger for their behavior.
