Pulling hairs..?!
Question: About a year ago I started to pull hairs out of my head, usually because I thought they were the wrong colour or just out of sheer boredom.
Nowadays, I find myself doing it without even realising, and I think there might be something wrong with me.
I've heard there's an actual name for what I've been doing but I would like to know more and how to stop?
Thanks xo

I started the same way, pulling out the gray ones here and there. It does turn into a habit. Instead of pulling, try twirling your hair instead. Just keep telling yourself that if you keep doing this you will eventually end up with your scalp showing, which is very unattractive on women.
yeah it is a medical condition have heard of it sorry don't know what it's called.
that suggestion to try substituting twirling your hair may work
i used to do this until someone said it was a sign of sexual frustration (twirling not pulling out the hairs) so it soon stopped me, good luck get some medical help as it will affect your self image to have bald patches
It's called trichotillomania and it is part of OCD if you are doing this without even thinking. You need to talk to a therapist about it because eventually if you keep at it, you will have bald patches on your scalp that may not grow back at all. Here is a link for more information on this disorder:
