Why do I pull my hair?

Why do you specifically pull? I’m a head puller and for me it’s because I feel like this deep-seated itch where no scratching would relieve it (I’ve scratched my scalp bloody) and only pulling would alleviate it. Of course if the root is big then it’s so much harder to stop.

Hello! :)

I do get the itch feeling mainly in my eyelashes and sometimes eyebrows and top hair

But I always love to feel the thickest strains of hair in the top

Same, I tend to pull the thicker ones too :S

Never thought of it as an itch before but now that you mentioned it .. it does feel like an itch

My mom pulled an eyebrow when I was a teen and it didn't hurt, so I started pulling more to see it it did, it didn't. A month later I had no eyebrows or eyelashes

I pull eyelashes, eyebrows, and head.
