a couple of years ago i was under ALOT of stress deaths, sports academics u name it. So i started to play with the split ends of my hair and eventually started pulling the hair out FROM THE ROOT. 2 yeaars later im working on my problem, that by now has become a habit so usuallly im not even aware that im doing it. However after all this hair loss my hair is very very very VERY thin. it will straighten good and curl but it takes forever any ideas on other hairstyles or some products to help me?

it sounds like you may suffer from trichotillomania. this is actually a pscychological problem that you might want to get help for. i believe its a form of obsessive compulsive disorder. talk to a guidance counselor, or go to your student health center. they should be able to help you out. good luck!

Pulling your hair out is actually a disorder.
Trichotillomania is a type of psychological condition that involves strong urges to pull hair.
I'd go and see a dermatologist about it, or a hair specialist. I had to see one for alopecia totalis which is another hair loss condition. I don't know what you could do to stop pulling your hair, but there are certain shampoos you could use to get to grow faster and to thicken a little bit. You could get them at your local beauty supply store or ceauty shop. Hair vitamins might work for you too, you could get them at any retail or drug store
Mane n' tail and Nioxin work well.

My advice would be that you need to see your physician to see what you can do about getting your habit taken care of first and they can give you something to get your hair growing back.
Best of Luck!

i'd cut it shorter, it will be stylish, fresh and with highlights really cool:

this will keep it away from your itchy fingers and will be easy to style.. straight hair looks really great short.. this cut gives it extra body that you might not regularly have..
hope this helps!
~*good luck*~

put it up, so you can't pull it out
