I have this very bad habit of pulling out my hair - I start to play with my hair and i'll grab a strand and pull it. Help I want to stop before I loose all of my hair! Mad

Hahahaha...I know what you mean - i've gone thru it and sometimes I still do some pulling...Probably the eye-opener for me was when I saw my cousin having a small bald spont on her head because of it... Instead of pulling it out - maybe you could just try twirling it in your finger.

Ohh goodness my mother has done that for years!!! She has actually pulled it out to the point of small bald spots. She twirls it around her finger then pulls it and pulls the hair out! Shes found that keeping herself busy and fingers/hands busy instead of idle she dosen't do it as often.

I have had the same thing. Though it was quite a few years ago, but every once in a while I catch myself pulling out my hair. It got to the point that I had bald spots on my head. I later found out that it was becuase I was under alot of stress. If you catch yourself doing it, go do something else. Try to go and do something so you wont be bored and idle.
