Why do I pull my hair?

Why do you specifically pull? I’m a head puller and for me it’s because I feel like this deep-seated itch where no scratching would relieve it (I’ve scratched my scalp bloody) and only pulling would alleviate it. Of course if the root is big then it’s so much harder to stop.

I pull eyelashes, eyebrows, and head.

My mom pulled an eyebrow when I was a teen and it didn't hurt, so I started pulling more to see it it did, it didn't. A month later I had no eyebrows or eyelashes

But I always love to feel the thickest strains of hair in the top
