Tips for avoiding hair pulling and skin picking on the scalp?

Does anyone have any tips for avoiding hair pulling and skin picking on the scalp? I have Trich specific fidget toys but it just doesn’t seem to be helping anymore :( I’m feeling so embarrassed about bald spots and scabs

currently, wearing hats or headscarves are helpful for my trich and skin picking on my scalp but I haven’t found a good solution for other places yet :/

A satin cap has really helped me! If hats were not allowed I tried wearing hoodies with my hair tied up. I pulled the strings so that the fabric was tight around my head
