Hair is a multi-million-pound industry. It is a potent sign of femininity, sexuality and health. As a nation, we are obsessed with it: we preen it, cut it, style it, dye it and spend millions on it every year. Losing it can be devastating.
Yet across Britain thousands of women are literally tearing their hair out. They suffer from trichotillomania, an impulse control disorder that causes people to pull out their own hair, often to the point of extreme baldness.
This First Cut film explores the reasons behind this by meeting three women living with the condition who are desperate to get their hair-pulling under control.
