@kellymaxwellhair: @elevatemeshintegration Fewer than 10 people had ever seen Kelly's natural hair. Now the whole internet has. And she chose that. 🦋 Here's why this is one of the bravest things I've ever seen in my chair. 🧠 What is trichotillomania? Trich is a hair-pulling disorder, a body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) in the same family as skin picking and nail biting. It's not a bad habit. It's not a choice. And you can't just stop. 📊 More common than you think About 1 to 2 in every 100 people live with it. Most start as kids and hide it for years. Many, like Kelly, don't know it has a name until they're adults. 💔 What it cost her Two hair replacement surgeries that didn't work. A third of her hair. Decades of headbands, bobby pins, and planning every pool day around a secret. ✨ What happened today She closed her eyes, trusted me, and let the world see all of it. Then she opened them and saw, in her words, "the version of me that I couldn't be without." 😭 Shade: Glamorous by Kelly Maxwell Hair Extensions 💫 Kelly to Kelly: thank you. You just told someone out there they're not alone, the same way a stranger on a TV screen once told you. 🙏 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents: If your child is pulling, it's nobody's fault. Not theirs, not yours. Move gently. 💛 If you have trich, there is help. Look for a therapist trained in habit reversal training, and visit @tlcbfrb. ✂️ Stylists: Want to learn exactly how I do this? Comment YES and I'll send you a free ticket to my next live class. 🎟️ Comment 🤍 if you or someone you love lives with trich, so they know they're not alone. #BFRBweek #trichotillomania #trich #BFRB #BFRBawareness hairpulling trichawareness trichcommunity hairloss hairlosssolutions meshintegration mentalhealthawareness

Beautifully Chaotic🇺🇦 :

omfg why is NO ONE mentioning the fact that she's got a damn rat tail comb sticking out of her arm! If you are not familiar with a rat tail comb, those are not sharp! So I know damn well that had to hurt! On another note your client looks beautiful.

Jen Johnson :
