Ok I have 2 cats. My moms cat Zoe little miss thing. No matter what I am doing if she can get to my hair she attacks it. If i'm asleep she attacks. She has those little balls with the bells in it, the little catnip mice, and I have one of those fun wands that I play with her all the time. But she just cant leave my hair alone. And its not like its long, its only sholder lenght.
I've checked to see if her hair attacking has something to do with them being out of food and water. Nope they have plenty of water. Or even if the little box needs cleaned.
Oh ya and shes roughly 5 months old. She was a rescue from our local humane society. Any ideas?

Water doesn't work with this one. She climbs in the shower with me when I take a bath. And I can't just shut my door. The whole basement is mine for me and my daughter and the cats.

If you don't mind smelling minty....spritz a little mint into the air around you when ever she starts to attack your hair. Cats HATE the smell of minty mouth spary. Other than that...you can make a harsh and short "SHH" sound. She'll stop and look at you for a moment, then look at her in the eye. Keep doing that until she gets it. SOmetimes a cat wont listen no matter what you do.
Oh and try this, get a really long strong thin stick and run it across the carpet making a scraching noise with it. I don't know why but every cat ive ever come across LOVES this type of toy and will abandond every other thing that it likes to play with just to play with the twig instead. It's so weird. I just recently discovered this. They love this stick like cat nip.

I even have had various kittens do this!haha get it a toy , whilst it gets on your hair provide it the toy, its very conventional for a kitten to try this, and its getting interest sort you, it needs. placed a marble in a cup with a lid, or something that makes noise, kittens love noisy toys!! sturdy luck

Close your bedroom door. Or get a little water bottle for plants and keep it close by and when she gets near your hair spray her. She'll get the hint. Or get a ball of yarn for her to play with. But the water bottle thing works great!

Wear a scarf. LOL.
You just have to grab her firmly when she attacks your hair and say "No!" You have to let her know you are the Alpha.

Get a squirt gun and when she goes for your hair, spray her in the back with it. Cats hate water...This is harmless and effective.(make sure you don't spray her in the face, you could spray her eye and cause damage).
