I think they call it Trichotillomania or it sounds close to that. See a doctor, some people have it so bad they even pull out their eybrows & eyelashes.

You may have established a habit - just like nail biting. It could be a nervous disorder. If you are actually pulling your hair out, it will grow back. You will have to try and break the habit. Each time you realize you are pulling your hair, chew on a piece of gum, or find something else to do with your hands. Hope you can kick the habit and your hair grows back.

You're not alone. I am 36 and have done this since the age of 3. It sucks, but it is treatable. Go to www.trich.org. They are WONDERFUL people.
