This study is bringing Trichotillomania patients and hair professionals together. As of now the recruitment is going to take place in the German speaking countries: Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

At this point I am still looking for 30 individuals with hair-focused repetitive behaviors including their head hair and additional hair professionals in requested locations to offer a standardized, mindfulness-based hair treatment specifically developed for this study. Each hair professional can also do several appointments

I have developed and taught the Hamburg Training for Hair Professionals – The Mindfulness-based Hair Care and Cutting Treatment for People with Trichotillomania via Zoom and a manual.

From 2021-2023 three virtual trainings took place with twenty-seven  German speaking hair professionals.

As of June 2nd, 2023 24 appointments took place, two more are scheduled and four are waiting to be matched.
