Case Study Tyla’s Journey: Finding the Perfect Trichotillomania Hair Extensions
Tyla, a 32-year old performer, has been living with Trichotillomania since she was 18 years old, following a traumatic experience. As a performer, her hair is a huge part of her image, but over the years, she has struggled to find high-quality hair extensions that not only looked beautiful but were also manageable and protective.
She had visited multiple salons across Australia, trying different hair extension methods, but was consistently disappointed. The hair often felt low quality, tangled easily, and didn’t blend well with her natural light red hair. She was frustrated and longing for a real solution that would help her feel confident on stage while also protecting her hair and allowing it to regrow.
Determined to find something better, She googled “best trich hair extensions” After reading our website Tyla booked a face-to-face salon consultation with me at Salon T to explore her options.
Tyla’s Consultation: Finding the Right Hair Solution
We sat down for an hour-long consultation, where I took the time to truly understand her needs, her struggles with Trichotillomania, and her previous experiences with hair extensions. I showed her the high-quality, ethically sourced hair I use, and the moment she saw it, she was in love. I could tell how much this meant to her. As a natural light redhead, she was worried about not finding the perfect colour and curl match.
The Transformation: A Seamless, Protective Hair Solution
I had the exact match for her stunning light red, wavy hair. It was a rare and perfect find, and we were both thrilled!
Since I had time available, I was able to offer a same-day transformation. Over the next three hours, I carefully applied her new custom-matched hair extensions using my protective Trich Mesh Method—a specialised technique that not only provides beautiful, natural-looking length and volume but also prevents hair pulling and allows her natural hair to regrow. Tyla’s Tricho Hair Extensions cost her $1,250. These hair extensions will last her around 2 years.
Throughout the process, we had a beautiful conversation, sharing stories about her Trichotillomania journey and how it had affected her life and career. I offered her some insights and strategies that I’ve developed over the years, which she found really valuable.
Tyla’s Words: A Life-Changing Experience
“When I saw my new hair for the first time, I was absolutely ecstatic! The colour and wave match was perfect, the hair felt luxurious, and for the first time, I had extensions that were lightweight, manageable, and protective. I’ve tried so many different salons and methods, but nothing compares to what Zak has done for me. I can finally perform on stage without worrying about my hair. This has been life-changing for me!”
Ongoing Care: Keeping Her Hair Safe & Secure
She has been wearing them for several months now. To keep them looking beautiful and maintain the protective benefits, she returns every six weeks for a refitting and maintenance appointment.
“I love coming back to Zak every six weeks—not just for my refit but because I always leave feeling supported and uplifted. These extensions have completely transformed the way I feel about my hair. For the first time in years, I feel like myself again.”
Ongoing Wig Care: Keeping It in Top Condition
At Salon T, I recommend that all Tricho Wig clients visit every four months for an intensive wig treatment, refresh, and trim. This helps maintain the integrity of the hair, remove any split ends, and keep the wig looking and feeling soft, natural, and long-lasting.
Mary has been committed to this routine, and now, eight months later, her wig still looks as beautiful and fresh as the day she first got it.
Mary’s words: “I love that I can come back to Zak every four months for a deep conditioning treatment and slight trim. It keeps my wig feeling fresh, soft, and natural. Unlike my past wigs that would start to look worn out after a few months, this one is still in perfect shape. This was life-changing for me. Thank you so much, Zak—I highly recommend you to anyone struggling to find the right hair solution.”
