There are some creams or shampoo that's supposed to enhance the hair follicles to grow.
I have heard that using NAC helps many.
Hypnosis or behaviour modification therapy helps others.
Some use fidget cubes or spinners, along with other tactile distractors effectively.
I find a low carb, no sugar diet helps.

N - ACETYL CYSTEINE supplements have helped ease urges in some patients, however some others have seen no improvement whatsoever. Additionally, Biotin and topical use Castor oil can assist with hair growth.

I have yet to find a natural treatment, unfortunately. Anything that prevents you getting to your hair or calms you may help.
Trial and error. Whatever coping mechanism works for you, use it. Then try whatever you choose to because it just might help. That's the painful truth people with trichotillomania have: a hope for a cure, that they don't believe exists.

Niacin is said to be helpful. Trichotillomania(TTM)Awareness and other Facebook groups were created to help encourage others suffering the same.
Some folks swear by using N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) supplement but I have no experience with it. Also getting talk therapy can help.

No, there are no natural treatments for the illness itself, but there are natural remedies available to help regrow the hair.
