Pulling Hair Obsession

Have you been into pulling your hair without your knowledge? or Are your hands tend to always touch your hair or do something with your hair? then you might be a victim of Pulling Hair Obsession.

I did not observe this behavior until I read the pulling hair obsession  posted by my brother in law chaitanya. When ever I am in stress or low, or feel tensed, I used to pull my hair especially the middle section of my hair. I had this since my childhood. I have observed the same with my mother. She used to touch her hair especially in the middle section of scalp and pull hair. When I was doing this I thought I got the habit looking my mother doing that. But I learned that I am doing that out of stress.

After I read the article I looked in the mirror to my shock I could clearly see a thumb size area was gone bald in the middle section of my hair. Since then I stopped pulling my hair. It took me more than 3 months to get back the hair that I lost because I used to pull the hair from the root. But I could not resist me touching the hair. I soon observed when I am in stress, pressure or disappointed I repeated the same behavior but without pulling it as I was aware this time. You can read about the article  Read The Post Here

Thanks to B-I-L for posting information about stress because of whom I realized I was a victim of it and helped me come out of it. Now When I am stressed I divert myself listening to songs, watching Television, reading a booking, chew gum.
