I have the exact same condition. It branches from a mild form of OCD or Obsessive Compulsion Disorder. I search for the crinkly hairs on my head then pull them out... I've been doing it for 4 years now, on and off. I try to distract myself, but it usually does not work, because I always say "just one more". I find that having a lot of stress in your life leads to pulling out your hair as well. I have bald spots all over my head and it sucks because they do not grow back fast. Depending on how much you pull, you will most likely start to develop bald spots if you do not stop
i used to do the same thing when i was younger, then i began going bald so now i shave my head. what we have is a nervous disorder. now i bite my fingernails, i always have to be doing something. i went bald not from pulling out my hair by the way, its genetics.
get some help?
i used to eat my hair
haha
but i stopped
My old college roommate used to do that. It's a habit, sort of like a nervous tick. Eventually you will probably damage your roots and will begin to go bald. To stop you have to fight the temptation to do it (like any other habit) and eventually you will stop. Just everytime you want to do it think of going bald or something like that to deter the behavior.
My friend used to do that
cuz she had really long hair.
Im no sure why she did it but.
maybe if you put ur hair up in a bun
maybe you would stop pulling ur hair out?
hope this helped?

it's a problem that equals chewing one's fingernails , not easy to remedy , try rewarding yourself with a jewel to wear around your neck if you can make it for three weeks without pulling a single hair , But you've got to be honest for this to work , your honesty is vital , and it's you ,you need to trust , can you do that ? if so get your mom involved tell her what your trying to acomplish , honesty is so very important here , I can't stress it enough ......! . Three weeks ,,, one day after the next , not one hair , if you forget and jerk , it's back to square one day one ,,, three weeks not one hair... something pretty , a birth stone perhaps ,, or a favorite collor ,,
