From the age of nine, Rosie Myers compulsively yanked the hair out of her own head. Haunted by loss including the prison death of her dad, she would suffer with the condition trichotillomania for 18 years.
After suffering a mental breakdown in 2017, Rosie went for talking therapy which helped her hit the long road to recovery. “I had to go back and speak to the little girl Rosie and tell her not to hurt anymore," she said.
Now aged 30, the Hampshire businesswoman, has managed to conquer her demons and runs ethical haircare brand ‘nope’ with her girlfriend. She says she loves the fact she has been able to turn her pain into her passion.
