BARTONSVILLE, PA, September 28, 2012 (Press-News.org) Although you probably haven't heard of it, chances are Trichotillomania (a hair pulling disorder) secretly affects someone you know. Trichotillomania or Trich is the compulsive urge to pull out one's own hair. Suffers often feel alienated due to the lack of knowledge about this condition.
Salons are encouraged to participate in the HelpMe2Stop National Trichotillomania Awareness Event October 1-7, 2012 and host themes which can be anywhere from:
• Red/White/Black Dinner Party
• Cut-a-thons
• Selling Wings of Hope (feather extensions or hair ornaments). Like hair, feathers symbolizes beauty, coverage and soaring to new heights. Wearing HelpMe2Stop Wings of Hope, honors silent sufferers symbolically through these red (represents pain), black (represents hidden secrets) and white (represents innocence)
colors.
• To make your event even more successful wear HelpMe2Stop Awareness T-Shirts, buttons and bandanas sold through http://www.helpme2stop.org/shop
Event photos are sent to Board@HelpMe2Stop.org for Social Media Exposure and Donations through Paypal
Donate@HelpMe2Stop.org or by sending a check to POB 202, Bartonsville PA 18321
