Can Playing with Your Hair Cause Hair Loss?
Does playing with your hair cause hairloss?
I get bored during the day and i have a tendency to twist and pull my hair around my fingers and push it back alot with my hand. does this at all weaken the hair enough to cause any damage or hairloss?
There is a point where traction alopecia develops when there is enough pull on what you are doing. Some people are also pickers and as they pick out their hair they also develop alopecia (alopecia means hair loss). When this happens it is called trichotillomania (obsessive compulsive disorder).
