g'day i'm new here. please any one if you feel obliged tell me about your ritual you have pulling out your hair? i have an intense ritual or several of them that i follow. julz
I feel my eyebrows for the
I feel my eyebrows for the ones that are thicker, and when I find them I can't think about anything else until I have pulled it out. My worst ritual is right before bed though, when I no longer have to worry about my makeup coming off and revealing my naked face I go crazy, and pull on every place on my body imaginable. I wish I could stop doing it right before bed, because thats when it is worst
mine's worse right before bed
mine's worse right before bed too!
I always run my hands through
I always run my hands through my hair to find a hair with bumps or a crimply course hair or I'll place the hair from my head on my hands to compare darkness. I'll usually play with the weird ones or the dark ones. Like, I'll curl them with my nails like you would curl a ribbon. Or I'll peel the root off with my nail. Sometimes I'll just stroke my head looking for the really bumpy ones and that's the PERFECT hair that I will spend forever trying to get and I won't stop thinking about it till it's out! I'm still thinking about one that I found yesterday but I'm not sure if I got it or not because it was a short one...
You wanna share?
my ritual is to search for
my ritual is to search for "the hair", be it longer than the others in that section im pulling through, or coarse, or crinkly or gray. then i isolate it and pull it through my front teeth until it breaks or i break it off then pull it through my teeth, breaking it again, i then discard the hair out of my mouth into a pile. once I am finished or interrupted, i will gather the pile and hide it in tissue or something and throw them away. Gosh, that sounds soo freakin crazy...and I have done this for years....its the one habit in my life i have never been able to fully break.....
it's NOT crazy
