I have a hard time finding things that deter me from picking my hair...but what works the best for me is to wear a knitted hat with my hair in a ponytail in it. It helps for when I am at home and at the computer or watching tv...that's when i pick the most. tail and put my it! I have been picking alot lately for some reason...wearing a hat helps the most for me.

what i do is put gloves on so i can't get the hair i'm trying to get. it you pull a lot of hair out at the same time you could put all your hair in a hat, and when you try to get at it you remember why you put the hair up there in the first place. that might work.

Lots of conditioner on hair to make it hard to get a hold of. Lotions on hands for same reason. Band aids on pulling fingers seem to work better than gloves/sock because you can still do other things you need to do (plus covering hands can make them hot which tends to make you want to take them off, possibly in your sleep). Just makes it hard to grasp hairs.

Stress balls (that's what I use, always have one nearby), Crafting, Exercise, Stay away from MIRRORS, Try not to be alone, Keep a journal, Therapy to find your triggers stress/anxiety (my major one/first one is my mother, relationship issues). Watch what you eat. (post topic on here about that). Rewards - Find a picture of something small, a shirt, shoes, fishing pole tape it up on the fridge, set a goal of say 2 weeks, if you are pullfree for the 2 weeks you get the reward. Then set a new goal with a new reward.

I pull my brows and I've found putting a warm cloth on my face then using a dab of tea tree oil helps me to feel better.

I just thought of this one this morning; Headbands. I guess it depends on where you pull from ((i pull from the front)) but you can put the headband on so it covers up the front so 1. you can't see it and 2. you can't grasp the hairs =)

The only thing that really worked for me were fake fingernails. If you pull your eyebrows/eyelashes, then it's damn near impossible to do it with fake nails on. Of course, then you gotta make sure you don't pick up tweezers etc.

Also, knitting/crocheting, etc. I took up knitting to keep my hands busy

I find that no one thing works all the time for me...I do alot of the stuff that was already mentioned and they all work for me as long as I do them:) One other thing that I do is I use that spray on hair stuff to cover my bald spot. I pulled the first time I used it, went to eat the hair and it was horrible. It really makes me think twice.

I found out that if I do hair, I don't think about it. Try to get some puzzles and work on them or try new projects. I'm taking your advice and I'm getting a rubber band and plucking myself

i always pull when im reading or on the computer and petting my cat really helps me too. if im watching tv and doing it i play with a stress ball and lately i have been learning to crochet. it's good bc you have to use 2 hands and you're actually making something useful!

Knitting and crocheting helps me. I have to keep my hands busy!!
