I actually shaved my head and noticed I picked less after that (obviously that’s a bit drastic just for picking, I had wanted to for a while and that wasn’t why I did it, just something that I noticed) That being said, bandaids, I put bandaids on my shoulder sometimes and then I pick at those instead of my scalp
I cut my hair shorter. I also think I was picking not only because of anxiety but because my scalp was agitated I used tea tree oil and a different shampoo and conditioner and that helped a bit.
