Only 19 more days to find out for sure. You know if you broke the habit for 4, you can do it for 19 more. I've heard about the 23 day rule too. I believe it's true. I'm willing to bet, within two weeks you will not only have kicked the habit, but also forgotten about it all together. A little trim on the ends and a good conditioner that smells nice and makes your hair feel silky will probably help combined with finding your own personal way to reduce your nervousness so you can focus on the things that really matter to you. Good luck :)

There's no set date for curing a habit. It sounds like this is not just a habit, but trichotillomania. How do I know? Because I have it. I'm an eyebrow puller. I've gone for months before without pulling, but then all of the sudden it will come back and I'll rip out my eyebrows.
The younger you are, the better chance you have for completely curing your problem. I haven't sought any treatment or counseling, but that's usually the route that people go to get better. Sometimes drugs can help you, sometimes counseling. There are ways that you can teach yourself to stop. But remember, it's not just a habit, and it's going to be hard to stop.

28 Days is typical... Same as reversing a drug addiction... usually the "out-patient" treatment programs are for a minimium of 28 days.
