Been doing the same thing all my life...especially when Im stressing over something. I found the only time I didnt really do it was when I had acryllic nails on. So go get your nails done and see how that works.
I HAVE THAT PROBLEM TOO. I always run my hands in my hair. I get to the point where my arms hurt because they've been up in my hair so long. i agree any answers would help me too! I do it even when I play sprts my mom says it looks like a have headlice when i constantly pick at it. No clue what to do sorry.
Give yourself some sort of reward if you go a whole week without doing it. If you stop doing it for long enough, I think the habit will be gone.
put your hair in a pony tail or get a friend or family member to hit you when you do it
try to find a new habit.
instead of picking your head..twirl your hair.
and count how many times a day/week you do that and then try to deduct those times every single week. reward yourself also. good luck!
First, you have to become aware of the habit, rather than doing it thoughtlessly.
Then, give yourself a signal each time you notice it: For instance imagine a stop sign. The more you do this the more you will become aware of it & the more you can stop yourself.
You will begin to notice that you'll start to become aware of it just before you're about to do it...then you can stop yourself. Slowly, you can stop the habit.
Don't try starting a new bad habit.
Good luck to you,
I have the same problem, since childhood too!
I'll be like reading a magazine, on the computer, or watching tv, and I'll just keep doing it till my arm hurts (like the other girl said).
I HATE it, and so do my parents.
Sometimes, I put my hair up into the tightest bun I can, and that stops me for awhile.
I really wish I could stop :(
I hope it helped.
