I have been playing with my hair since I was a toddler, I am 25 years old now. I only twirled my hair when I was a kid but about 3 years ago I started pulling out my hair strand by strand, I now have bald patches on my head and I wear a wig,..I pull out the hair on the wig too! I do not know how to stop this?!
Hi. I had this problem when I was pre-teen to early 20's. I quit by concentrating on catching myself reaching up there and stopping myself. After awhile, I realized I hadn't done it in years. It helps if you have a fairly stress free living situation. Also, meds for anxiety might help you stop.
My twin sisters did this for years and they pulled out so much they had patches of hair gone...after seeing a therapist at school they did types of therapy and within 2 years they both stopped and their hair grew back there is help to stop this habit for sure:)
