Chaetophobia- Fear of hair.
Aphenphosmphobia- Fear of being touched. (also called Haphephobia)
Now you don't mention how severe this is. Are you freaking out when people touch your hair or just uncomfortable? If you're simply uncomfortable, then it's not a phobia. However, if you are very afraid of even the thought of someone touching your hair, there are different ways to help phobias that psychologists use. One is flooding, where you confront your phobia head on. Another type is an exposure therapy, where you slowly work up to what you're afraid of until you're ready to confront your fears. Now if this truly is a phobia, you'd want to consult a psychologist and talk to them on what method would work for you.

I'm 36 and I don't like people touching my hair or touching my arms when they are talking to me. I am just not a touchy-feely person. The only people that I don't mind doing that is my 2 year-old and my husband.

It is a phobia and my friend has it, it is called Trichopathophobia which means fear of detached hair, Chaetophobia which is fear of all hair your own animal hair all hair, and Hypertrichophobia which means your fear, fear of other people hair touches you or there putting it in a pony and such. Hope this helped.

There are multiple kinds of disorders that deal with anxiety. Although most can manifest in similar ways, these disorders generally occur due to different events in your life. Natural home remedies for anxiety https://tr.im/0a4vd

When you're 13, you can call it being a touchy teenager.

You just don't like it
