Help hair ripped out at root

Lmao, that's why you should keep your hair short, or people can pull your hair and sock you continuously. It is very dangerous, so learn how to defend yourself, especially defending your head. Once they grab you, then you're not fighting anymore, you're wrestling and struggling with your opponent. Something you should keep in mind, if you do get too close to your opponent and they try to grab you and such, try tickling them, armpit, ribs, neck, anywhere. When you're being tickled, you can't really do much but wiggle and jiggle because you feel kind of numb. I recommend learning Wing Chun Kuen, some people say it's a girl kung fu, well it's not. It is simply very direct fighting, not kung fu dancing(meaning showing a lot of beautiful moves, wasted motions) or wasting any time or space and motion like many other types of martial arts. They might look beautiful when performed, but many of the moves are wasted and that gives your opponent an advantage. If you do go check out Wing Chun at a school, it might look very boring, but wing chun is very effective and efficient because of how direct the fighting is. You really can't impress someone by doing the wing chun forms because it doesn't look all that beautiful when performed. Though there are many different systems of Wing Chun, and I do Hung Fa yi Wing Chun Kuen, which is actually better than the other systems. You'll know why I say that if you try doing another style of wing chun, and then change to hung fa yi wing chun. Jut Kuen Do(the kung fu bruce lee invented) is made up of a whole lot of variety of other styles of martial arts, including wing chun. I think there are three weopons in wing chun, but I only know a little of the broad sword. But my sifu(teacher) is teaching me the iron fan, first learning how to do the forms, then learning how to fight with it. The iron fan is not part of wing chun. And the good thing is I can stay for 3.5 hours for each wing chun training session and three times a week. lmao, my cousins learn shaolin kung fu and they only have it for 1 hour, too bad for them. I get speacial priority, not even the seniors students can stay that long. You can call me a begginer, that';s because I never ask to take any tests to level up which i could have done the firsth 6 month of doing wing chun but I know all the things begginers should know, but I get to stay for the begginers group and senior group. I think I'm classified as a super noob haha. I've been doing wing chun for almost about 2.5 years. Also, an iron fan is a legal weopon, so you can bring it out to anywhere without getting arrested as if you bring a sword out on the streets. Hey, it's a fan, you use it for keeping cool, it's not sharp or anything. =D

Man, you got f**ked. Tell me what happened, I'm curious. :)

Hi Amanda,

So sorry to hear of your incident.  How awful and frightening.  I am glad you are OK and recovering.

I had read somewhere that hair pulling had become much more prevalent lately and so I was even more distressed to see the following article in the India Times...........

I hope we can stop this from happening although it doesn't help with teachers do it to their students in front of others.  Not only does it give bullies ideas but it promotes the hair pulling.

KOLKATA: Five-year-old Virnica Gupta, a nursery student, forgot to take a polythene bag to school on Tuesday. This angered her teacher so much that she tore off a fistful of the child's hair. The teacher, Ruma Pal, was arrested on Wednesday night, within hours of the parents filing a complaint with the police.

On Monday, Virnica's teacher had told the class to bring polythene bags to school the next day. Virnica forgot to inform her parents and, consequently, reached school on Tuesday without the bag.

That was enough to make Ruma fly off the handle. She first scolded Virnica and then pulled her by the hair, allegedly tearing off a whole bunch from the right scalp. When Virnica returned from school, her mother had her examined by family physician P.P. Gupta, who found "bruises" on the scalp. "Her hair had indeed been pulled out," Gupta told TOI. Virnica is in a state of shock.

This incident happened at the Salt Lake branch of Our Lady Queen of the Missions School, one of the city's top institutions.

Virnica's father Hitesh Gupta waited till Wednesday before confronting the teacher in the presence of the principal. "I did not go to the police immediately because I wanted to know how the school authorities reacted to my daughter's pain. The teacher said it was an 'accident' and she 'didn't mean' to hurt my daughter so badly. The principal's reply wasn't convincing either. So I filed a complaint at Bidhannagar (South) police station," Hitesh said, adding that the principal had told him to file a written complaint that she could forward to the governing body.

There was no response to TOI's attempts to contact the school principal at home on Wednesday night.

Hi Amanda,

Actually, I constantly receive emails from people forwarding me hair news items and lately I have seen a couple of hair pulling incidents reported around the globe involving women and children.  It is very sad to see.

As for your wedding, a couple of thoughts about your recovering spots:

1.  Many hair extension experts and the DIYers use wonderful "temporary" add-on techniques that include toupee tape.  A celebrity hairdresser I know uses toupee tape on some of his big name stars to "temporary" add hair right at the scalp level.  You might like to drop by our Hair Extension talk board...the people there are amazing and would probably be able to offer you several DIY options or point you to someone that could work to camoflauge your current situation from your hair pulling.

Oops...I just saw you on the Hair Extension board...my apologies.  The folks there are really great and so helpful.

2.  What about the gorgeous new head scarves as a headgear option?  A women recently purchased one of each of our gorgoues hand made Susan Daniel scarves and I was so curious that I emailed her to ask if she was going to wear them all herself.  She said no...that she was getting married and that she was wearing the white scarf with a flower wreath on top and that all the bridesmaids were wearing the different colors with matching floral circular wreaths on top of the scarves.  I thought that was so inventive and cool.  Yes, very non traditional, but cool.

3.  What about a cool bridal covering like a lace mantilla veil that would cover up the spots?  Or big flowers (which are so hot).  We had one bride who took several Michelle Roy silk flowers in white in different sizes ranging from small to very large and wired them together to form a stunning wreath. 

Anyway...you have my total sympathy for what happened.  If I can help in any way with ideas or suggestions, please let me know.

Hugs to you.
Karen

Hi Amanda,

Flowers are always sooooo gorgeous for any occasion.  I am sure you would look so lovely in them.  Especially fresh flowers that worked with your entire wedding theme.  How lovely that would be.  :-)

Best wishes,
Karen

Coolllllllllllllll.  Yes...please post.  Can't want to see them.
