I HAVE HAIR 👩💇🙌

[@beckiejbrown]

Quick comment: YES - I did intend to upload this on both channels, so do not worry. YES - I am open to questions.

[@stevepunk1]

The other channel being 'Trich Journal'? x

[@jodiem3520]

Rebecca Jane Brown silly question but could your bike rideing have any relevance to hair growth? I know when I get in a routine of exercise like that I feel a bit better stress and mental health wise, so maybe this helps trich ? Either way it’s great you have the hair right now and I think it’s good you’ve got the mind set of seeing where things go it’s a very realistic way of looking at things :) thank you for shareing xx

[@nocterniaobscura]

So happy and proud for you ♥ I think I follow you for about 10 years now(? ) so naturally I am super happy to see you happy ^-^ Of course you are not cured, of course it is not the end of the road. But really, give more credit to yourself! You are doing so much better and you deserve to feel proud for it, we do not feel proud only when we reach the end of our road! Maybe your Faith helped you too..? I am a pagan, but I think personal faith and practices can help regardless of the religion! Keep up the awesome work!

[@LeComplice]

YES - i did watch the video on both channels.

Not only do you HAVE hair but you have genuinely BEAUTIFUL hair!!!!

[@thehelpfultroll9032]

I told you it was down to your hormones Rebecca, your hair looks beautiful & is the start of wonderful things for you. When my kidneys failed years ago I thought it was the end of me until the Creator God spoke with me & proved it was real, it also told me when I would have my transplant & the time it stated I told to my nurses & consultant who believed I was mad as it's impossible to know when you get a transplant & the odds are impossible to calculate. They were amazed when I was called in for transplantation as it was absolutely accurate. That's shown in my medical records as I had to be mentally assessed to see if I was OK for transplant. Throughout the whole time on dialysis I was harassed by followers of Thelema & refused to attack others on their behalf or turn against God as I knew 100% it was real & existed because of the many things it told me that came true. Your faith is well founded & is the most stable rock you could ever be on. Doubt is caused by that which is against God & should be told to leave or rebuked in the Creators name, it will try & try to make you renounce God as that is in it's nature. Stay strong & know that nothing is above the Creator God & those who have true belief in it. The Creator way well choose to guide your mom & it may set tests for her to show her faith but they will be tests such as me being told I did not need dialysis by it so I gave up for three months & survived which is impossible as a dialysis patient cannot live beyond a month without having dialysis...When I eventually had to return to having it I asked why & the Creator God replied "I did not say you wouldn't need it forever" & when I thought about that I realised it had not...A sense of humour in God. Let your mom see this please. Much love Tim

[@thehelpfultroll9032]

I Have Suffered greatly at the hands of those who work against the Creator for my belief as have you. I am sorry for all you have had to go through & feel the pain you have had to endure. It is terrible as you & I know all to well & I am on your side because of this.

[@thehelpfultroll9032]

[@EffiiCat]

I haven't seen anything from beck0 for like 6 years and then this pops up on recommended, youtube has a weird af algo

[@becomingiris]

I love the way you allow yourself to be happy and positive while still being grounded in some realism so you don't lose yourself in the euphoria and set yourself up for disapointment if you have a setback. Very healthy and mature perspective.

[@miloflynn7234]

I know I'm late but I understand the confusion. I have horrible dermatillomania and used to bite my nails to the point where I struggled to pick things up. Then one day, it all stopped. And my nails were as strong as they'd ever been. I've had backslides, I've bitten by nails. I still pick at my skin like crazy but not nearly as much as when I was stressed about EVERYTHING in my life. Now it's mainly financial 😂😂

[@ScottishLM]

Congrats!! I used to suffer terribly with Trich. I stopped pulling when I was 17 but i've pulled a few little bald patches over the years since(now 37) I have super thick & long hair now BUT I CANT WEAR IT DOWN! It needs to be back in a pony tail or I constantly touch, stroke and inspect it and cant get anything done 😂 like yourself I have other repetitive behaviours/ticks/ dermatillomania & Binge eating is a problem for me. I swapped hair pulling for eating 😏

[@SixCoreSecond]

6:52 look at thaat, a genuine, uncontrollable, happy smile. you literally can't keep the happiness inside and even your own accidental attemps at "playing it cool" cant stop that

[@Gagging4Lit]

Congratulations on the thick hair. A huge achievement for someone with trich!!!! Maybe managing your social media in a way that protects you a bit more has meant you weren't as stressed pulling-wise? What you said about your progress having little to do with the effort you put in makes sense too. But considering being confined indoors and other recent changes, it is lovely to hear your hair hasn't been the thing that suffered (at least). Hope my comments comes over okay :)

[@joeyharrington1863]

I haven't been keeping up with a lot of your more recent videos, but I saw the notification for this one and decided to watch, and I'm so glad I did. Thank you for creating a space that has been allowed me to feel like I'm not dealing with trich alone. When I started following 8 or 9 years ago, I didn't even know that it had a name, and your videos gave me the ability to learn about it and understand myself better. I'm so happy that you've been doing well, and I hope you continue to love being annoyed at your hair. :)

[@cwirthless]

Weirdly enough, I also had a major improvement in my trich right around the first year or so of the pandemic. I have a lot of social anxiety and sometimes I wonder if not feeling the pressure to go out and interact with people helped in some way. And even though I can't say the trich is "gone," I've been able to stay wig-less since 2021.Cheers to us, right? Always ❤️

[@wargodest]

Haven’t watched you in YEARS but wow your hair looks amazing! So happy for you!❤️

[@katjrinn]

I have a theory that if this illness was caused by anxiety - the pandemic made it finally real, maybe the fact that the danger was actually real this this time forced anxiety to let it all go to the level where you finally could grow your hair. I’ve read about this (without the hair part)

[@AbbyRulzNCIS]

Your hair is such an achievement! So happy for you and your progress!!

[@mjaiman]

So proud of you! I'm still fighting with trichotilomania for about 12 years now. And I dont have the courage to shave my hair yet.

[@idontwantahandle212]

A bit late but I really recommend an Aquis hair towel - they are microfibre and dry your hair really quickly! maybe not as quick as a hair dryer but they keep your hair healthy without the heat :)

[@karenstephen9365]

I love how you celebrate your success and accept yourself however and wherever you are.. that’s been the only tactic that’s helped me with my pulling- acceptance and love is the way and you bravely showing your path has helped me and so many others. I love you and your enthusiasm and vulnerability. Thank you for your courage and strength Karen

[@amys2311]

It makes me so happy seeing you so happy!! I think the pandemic has definitely thrown a major curveball at our trich efforts. I'm so happy to hear it was great for you! Unfortunately, it went the other way for me, but I'm learning so much and hopefully am back on track now :) I really appreciate you spreading awareness and normalizing this - people like you have made a huge positive difference in my journey. I wish you well!!

[@martinanagasha3665]

I am happy for you. i get it me too have had the most hair in 10 years this lockdown but lost it in 2 days in March 2021

[@anapatricia96610]

I've been following you for years now. You don't know how much joy it brings me to see this video!! Keep hanging there, your fanbase loves you.

[@rebeccahurt3711]

People who say you don't have trich are totally not understanding this disorder. My daughter has not had eyebrows or eyelashes for years. She has had eyebrows for over a year and eyelashes for 4 months! We are so excited but we also know that tomorrow or next week ore even next year she can have no eyelashes or no eyebrows. You are amazing and so is my daughter as well as everyone who fights this battle. ❤❤❤❤

[@angelofdarkness2345]

I've been watching your ups and downs since 2011, and I'm so happy for you Rebecca ❤

[@ffstopP]

Very happy for you, Beckie. Through the past 15 yrs you've been persistent, courageous, and transparent, and I'm glad you chose to take us along on your journey. Keep on keepin' on. (And resume a weekly post.) :-)

[@rwc.5137]

I have done the bald thing for many years as a teen. I’m 21 now and I have a full head of hair. Your videos helped me immensely as a child. Thank you. I still suffer now but it is less noticeable

[@brielleelise9558]

"This video may be all over the place..." Celebrations often are. Grats! 😄

[@bogrisel3191]

I have actually picked my current hair style based on what your hair looks like now. I like it so much! My hair type is a lot thinner tho, so my hair is still training to flip like yours.

[@TheEdmond30]

Really pleased for you Kiddo, hope it continues in this very positive fashion

[@eminahodzik]

I have Trich, and it started when my Uncle passed away. My mom bought me extensions and I started pulling those, now I don’t have bald spots but I have the thickness issue. So many shorter pieces of hairZ, but naturally I have thin hair. But it’s getting better, it’s so hard and it takes a psychological toll on you. You catch yourself fondling a strand and almost pulling it, and it takes so much of you to not pull that piece.

[@darcityler2621]

Hello💜 I am very proud of you!💜 you were one of the first youtube channels I ever subscribed to, its incredible to have watched your journey💜 Sending all my love and support!

[@Ninjozata]

Watching this a year ago convinced me to stop shaving my head. The crown is still picked bald, and I feel so bad, and so weird, but the rest of my hair is the longest it’s ever been and I’m able to blend in a wig topper. I’m so grateful

[@dabe1971]

Lovely start to a Monday and so typical of you to want to help others. Hope you're wrong about any setbacks but whatever happens, keep being you. And what a smile at 6:55 :)

[@katcc21]

I've probably been following you for about seven years, and I can'tt tell you how happy I am for you

[@MlleLowis]

I am so proud and happy for you. You got this. Sometimes there are major setbacks, and the way you're accepting it is heartwarming. I support you so much !! (I don't have trich, but I relate with depression. ❤️)

[@maxclaire7460]

Ahhhhhh I'm so so so so so happy to see your hair. I have followed your journey for nearly... 8/9 years I think and I will always support and admire you. I know this year has been SO SO SO hard for you with jobs and COVID and I absolutely feel your struggle and empathize and am sending you as many positive vibes and spoons as possible. Who cares how or why your hair is so wonderful again, it's amazing and we will all appreciate it and congratulate you if it's long or not xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@alexisJ774]

Wow, I also have trich - just pulled my eyebrows out and have patches and I thought of your videos. I first watched about 10 or 12 years ago a few years after I first realized I had trich. I couldn’t find your videos after that for some reason! You have crossed my mind over the years and I am so glad to see you doing well. Your hair is beautiful, wishing you all the best. Say a prayer that my brows grow back- I did some damage 🫠

[@19Fenja89]

I feel so happy for you! I can still remember you saying something like: "It could be a couple more years before I have hair this length again" in your last shaving-video. And voilà, now you have it!

[@kb4zzle]

I used to watch you around 5 years ago but I completely lost my KZbin account and stopped using the app completely. I got another account but still barely used it, I’ve got back into watching KZbin again suddenly remembered you, came straight back and found this video. I’ve been routing for a very long time and this video has made my heart so happy. I’m so so so happy that you’re feeling good right now. Glad to be back subscribed to you ❤️

[@sarkamatejkova7575]

You are GLOWING. I know I can never understand all that you're going through. But I am so so happy for you. The Beckie flick, the cats, it's like seeing you transform. I will pray for your hair

[@lp6129]

So very happy for your current hair accomplishment!!! Thank you for bravely sharing your journey.

[@leahtaylor3959]

So so proud of you. Your such an inspiration to all of us with trich, with any type x

[@aliceakehurst3159]

SO SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU, I just checked in tonight for the first time in maybe a year... First thought was "o my god, she looks so beautiful" wishing you luck and love you beautiful, mana wahine.

[@ania5038]

I'm happy for you. It makes me worry just seeing you touch your hair but I am glad it seems like you are being gentle with yourself :) all the best

[@madmudd96]

But I’ve followed you since the start of my trich journey and I’m SO SO PROUD OF YOU BECKY!! 💞💞

[@15Indianajon]

I am having the worst start to the week but this has just made my day! Have a big grin and am so happy for you. Whilst I can't say I can understand the battle that you are going through, I do empathise and you do explain it well. It looks amazing and I hope you are suitably proud. I guess all you can do is enjoy the now and not get bogged down in the maybes and possibilities. I have everything crossed for you and thank you again for brightening my day.

[@mispopera]

This made me sooooooooooooo happy. Please take care Beckie!!!!

[@Lebofilms]

Congratulations, Rebecca! I am very happy and excited for. No telling what the future may hold, what comes to be, comes to be, but I love seeing you enjoy this moment. I never heard of Trich until your first video on it (yes, I have been a subscriber for THAT long). I even remember the Beckie Flick (not sure if I spelled that right).

[@olivias52]

I’m in the same boat! When lockdown hit I just assumed I would go bald again. And here I am 6 months later with a full head of hair, AND eyebrows (which I haven’t had in over 6 years). I still pull from my “hot spots” and have some thinning areas but I can let my hair blow in the wind and not worry about bald spots accidentally showing. It’s a great feeling but it’s also confusing.

[@bellarose4250]

Hi Becky! I last watched a video from you around 10 years ago - you popped into my mind and I’m glad I had a look at your channel again. Sending lots of love!!!

[@FleurDuSerenite]

I’ve been following you since you started raising awareness and it’s so beautiful to see your journey! Genuinely happy to see your beauty and hear your voice again!💕

[@MauraMcG]

Thank you so much for saying that growth does not define success, strength, positivity, etc. Thank you.

[@rlemoin]

it is amazing to see her post any videos, i have followed all her channels for years, i myself have trich and she has been an inspiration, she is a beautiful women inside and out even if she doesn't make another video for years, or looses it all tomorrow i will still be a huge fan

[@shouldacomewithawarninh4974]

Your hair looks amazing Becky 😊🥰🥳😀💙🤗🤪😃

[@ArtBySilver]

Celebrate these victories!!!! What a happy thing to celebrate right now!!!

[@jaxtoy8]

Oh my gosh, I had the same epiphany with my hair! I thought I was going to cut it all off (I have trichotemnomania) around the time the pandemic started, but I've let my hair grow past my shoulders, something I haven't had since high school. It's good you said in your own way "even though I seem to be over my illness, doesn't mean the rollercoaster will continue". Also, I chipped my front tooth from biting my nails and cuticles. Chipped tooth buddies!

[@MonikaVighovaCZ]

I am so happy for you! I remember watching your shaving video couple of years back and crying my eyes out as I was so sorry you had to do it. I don't know how hard it must be for you as I am not a tricher but I do have my own struggles so when something doesn't go to plan a you have to start again it sucks. I am so happy and proud to see you like this! Love from Czech Republic

[@Goodmandoo]

beautiful hair!

[@LoveRonHermione]

I have been watching you for seven or eight years, and I just wanna say how proud I am. And not because of the length of your hair. I am proud of you now and I was proud of you when you were bald. I have always been proud of you, and I always will be

[@dannilower9523]

I am absolutely in love with the shape of your flick/fringe! I love the way it swoops away from your face in layers and the color is gorgeous and the way it frames your face... it's just absolutely stunning and I love it so so much 💜

[@christinethisted4112]

Congrats Beckie! It's so nice to see you happy ❤️❤️ I have long (and thick) hair, and I only wash it two times a week, because it takes approx. 6 hours to dry, and also to avoid it getting too greasy in between washes 👍

[@lyracian]

Congratulations. I have been following you since 2014, six whole years, so a really big well done.

[@heyyoitsmargo]

as a long time viewer, i am so proud to see how far you’ve come! yay for the beckie flip!!! will continue to cheer for you through all the successes and the lows.

[@amelialuvsrabbits]

I’m so happy for you! I’m sharing your excitement :) I understand wanting to feel guarded about the future of your hair, but recognize that in this moment, this is all your resilience and hard work. Which is such an achievement during this time in the world. You look lovely, and should be rly proud of urself ♥️

[@lensolla7777]

The light creates such depth in your hair color, I'm kinda jelly!

[@SeenOrHeard]

I'm proud of you, Rebecca. Also "With Great hair comes great conspiracy" is hilarious!

[@hichamarbah]

So happy for you Beckie :) I've been following your channel for too many years. I'm like not writing comments all the time but I'm watching every single video. Take great care, I'm sure things will go better and better. A Moroccan subscriber 😁

[@mattouli]

Beautiful as you always were anyway(!) great to you happy with it. You still play with and obsess over it a little, I think lockdown has maybe just proved to be a handy distraction. Haven’t seen any of your vids for a few years, been a crazy year... 3rd change of job, lost both parents and grandmother but creating a new house and children have come into the equation so the only way is up! Great to see the same fresh face I saw so long ago!

[@DancingInBlueSocks]

YES. Praise God!! This is wonderful. Will continuing praying, not just for hair growth but also sustained peace. 💜

[@nojerama788]

I am so incredibly incredibly proud of you, you've done amazingly and I hope that these victories help you through some of the bullshit you're forced to deal with online because people are cruel. You've done wonderfully 💚💚💚💚💚

[@Willow76ny]

A small victory is still a victory! Congrats! Take it one day at a time and enjoy the little things. ❤️

[@MagdushB]

so happy for you! and nothing you said was confusing, everything makes perfect sense :) you are strong, with or without your hair

[@eddyguilloteau9823]

So lovely to see you happy, congratulations on your beautiful hair, you did it.

[@annakatie7347]

Congrats on the hairness!!! I'm glad this has been such a positive thing to happen, especially with everything going on the past few months.

[@emmaharvey7410]

I've been watching probably ten years now. I'm so happy for you, it's so good to see your progress, stay safe 🖤

[@theoddlifeofme]

I haven’t watched your videos in about 2-3 years, but I’m so glad I came back. I have been on the same sort of journey as you. Bald so many times and now finally. Miraculously. I’ve grown it out to about a bob. I’ve got a massive bald patch starting and have to wear my hair in a ponytail. But I’m so happy to have that ponytail. The first time I realized I was able to do it I cried. My pulling has slowed down a lot so I’m hoping that I’ll be able to regrow my bald bits and then maybe cut it to your length so it’s more even looking. But I can braid it. OMG I CAN BRAID IT

[@AishuMAD]

Wow, i have never been this early to a video! But this is such a good surprise! I feel soo happy for you! I hope this continues for you in the future!

[@dimyoll]

You have lovely hair Beckie!! I am so happy for you!!🤗🤗🤗

[@pvdm709]

Love that you feel good now with the hair. It is beautiful. I have longer hair, but almost never blow dry my hair. I just use the towel to dry it a bit and then let it air dry. Not to say other people might use the blow dryer

[@natalieajax-lewis4752]

When you said you've pulled. For some reason my brain immediately went to flirting and you've got a new boyfriend. Even in the full context of the video I was like good on her. Sorry this is the privilege of not having trig. I'm glad you have hair 😊

[@greensteve9307]

Hahaha!!

[@TheSanneFabulous]

Your positivity is so charming. I'm so happy for you!

[@WiWillemijn]

Sooo much haaaair! You rock any hairstyle btw. I hope you're enjoying every stage of the growth :) It must be scary at the same time, but I think you have a healthy approach to it

[@TheRantsOfABookWorm]

Having followed your channel since 2009 I am so happy to see you happy with your hair!

[@maranduhjean]

I’m sure it’s silly but literally am crying bc I’m so happy for you. I’ve been w you since you first posted your Trichotillomania video all those years ago and I genuinely adore you. Congrats on your hair, Rebecca ❤️

[@leplum2001]

Here's hoping that you have conquered your trich Beckie and long may it last! :-)

[@ravenjoybower]

Happy that you're happy :D So good to see that at least one thing is going well for you at the moment in the midst of this, and that you can be happy and find joy in that.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

PROUD OF YOU 💖 I don"t have trich (though i immensely enjoy tweezing hairs out, and can get entranced in it when not mindful), but i have been battling with its close cousin, dermatillomania for years. I've succeeded in stopping doing it for weeks or months at a time. It comes back at times of great stress, mostly concentrating on one corner near my mouth and i never go to the point of drawing blood/creating a scab anymore. I used to have a completely bloody face, neck, back, arms, legs..... it's so hard to explain to anyone. I'd keep it from even my boyfriends of many years, and the one time i tried to open up about it with an ex, it was very badly received (he is an ex for a reason). I did it a couple times in 2020, but i am getting married in a week hence incentive to keep a clear skin !!!! I also scour my scalp in search of "DEC plugs" (those little round fat balls that are naturally produced by your hair) and it still gives me a slight "high" whenever i find one. I think it is a BFRB or OCD related stress-coping mechanism. Be gentle with yourself 💖💖💖 ENJOY YOUR HAIR BECKIE 💖

[@clairerobin8009]

your hair like this is actually such a look!

[@BennysRadio]

Wow, that is amazing! As I follow you for such a long time and got to know the struggles I'm actually really proud of you! Stay up and don't let yourself get drowned again. And if, then you will rise like a phoenix from the ashes again! The battle never ends, but you will never give up! We believe in you!

[@Octobris]

Those moments when you just smile... To me you're radiant. Thank you for sharing this 😊

[@maggiebaughman839]

Congratulations! The struggle is so real! I had to shave again just after my mom died in May. I got my first curl just the other day. It's so hard.

[@stephaniewashere9821]

I'm grateful to hear you are growing hair. Just let it keep growing dear. Treat your hair as if it were a plant- water it when it needs to be. This also means take care of it. Watch what product you use and that they are safe. Use products that are paraben and sulfate free. I bet you'd look fantastic with wavy/curly hair. Try a different color. Love ya. ❤️

[@milsum1443]

I am so so happy for you at this happy hair moment. I've been having one too, sort of. Let's enjoy it!

[@OtterValentine]

i haven’t seen ur channel in years and my trich had been getting bad again, this is super inspirational 💕

[@BrokenDarkFire]

Congratulations! That looks so lovely to be able to flip your hair again!

[@mdude2765]

Thank you for sharing this with us, I know you’ve been struggling with the idea of KZbin so I’m grateful you decided to upload this. Much love 💕

[@elevenaffirmations5821]

im so proud of you! 💜

[@mae9940]

Ironically I caught myself picking at my eyelashes while watching this 😆 so I can understand the ongoing struggle. But I’m so happy for you and your hair growth! Your videos have always comforted me and reminded me that I’m not alone💕

[@djoyplans]

Gosh I am so happy for you, I have been watching you on and off since 2011 so watching this video made me really emotional haha

[@greatmarloes]

And! I have faith in you, that you can keep, take care and love you hair🙏☺️

[@vids1900]

"You can be a trich warrior and be bald for years!" Darn right, I am...probably for life, and that's alright :) Just happy that you're so freakin' happy and doing well. You didn't use shampoo and conditioner when completely your head was completely shaved? What did you do? I've used bar soap, and it makes me scratch like crazy for a variety of reasons

[@heatherinCT]

Idk you but thank you for this. BEAUTIFUL!

[@starburst6395]

Lovely to see you smiling
