I play with my hair 24/7. People I know think its funny because they all see me as the steryotypical punk who doesn't care about clothes and such and Ill sit there with my brothers clothes, no makeup, and ill have a mirror and be playing with my hair the whole time.
I just do it because my hair is really soft (which is weird because Idye it all the time) and I like to touch soft hair. My friends hair is really fine so its all downy soft and fluffy and I always play with her hair.

There are people chewers and animal chewers. I have had several dogs when I was growing up that would chew on my hair is it was down (well mostly puppies.) How that I work at a vet clinic, I wear it up in a bun secured with a scrunchi. I don't need any animals chewing on mine!!! Yes I actually get close enough to their mouths to do it too. If it is a larger dog it is easier for me to sit on the floor to do my job than trying to pick up a 50+ lb dog to put on a table!!!
I have a problem with touching other peoples' hair. I dont mean it as flirting, but it's often misconstrued that way. And when I'm with my b/f he often freaks out about how much I touch his hair. It's not even something I do conciously.
Wow, LGOMH! I've never heard anything like that. I am A neg. I need to just chill! I don't usually get stressed out though, I'm pretty mellow. But I am obsessed about hair breakage!
Tee-hee. Elissa, when I hear or feel a hair break, I usually say "Ouch!" even though it doesn't really hurt. I guess I'm saying ouch on behalf of my hair, cuz it can't talk. Then I stop playing with it!

I'm wondering if you know what blood type you are? Type A (and Type B) have the highest naturally occuring levels of a stress hormone called Cortisol. Cortisol is stored in muscle tissue. T'ai chi and yoga are both shown in studies to reduce cortisol levels - and hence reduce your stress levels. Type A's are prone to obsessive compulsive disorder but perhaps this is easily corrected with stress reducing measures.
If you are a Type O blood type..then exercises including cardiovascular workouts and weight lifting may give you the stress relief you need.
Anyway - hope this idea plants the right "seed" in your life
Hair chewing IS disgusting! Why do kids do it, I wonder. I did it once my hair was long enough, which probably wasn't until I was like 10.
Hairalways and Elissa and Mylissa, I agree. But... I think I should break my hair touching habit, because I think it causes damage right? Wouldn't we all be better off just keeping hands off? Even if you're gentle, there's still breakage. I guess it's inevitable. The breakage will either happen here and there throughout the day, or once when you comb it at the end of the day, huh?

I like to touch my hair, too. I like to feel that it's nice and soft and in good condition. I also detangle it during the day using my fingers. And I also feel like it is good to distribute the oils.
But I try not to do it during a conversation, because I do think that gives off non-verbal cues that can be negative.
I think hair chewing is disgusting, and thankfully I only see kids do it--never adults.
Omi-gosh!!!! Sooo happy to hear I'm not alone...Whenever my hair is down, and I've done this since childhood....I'm a hair twirler LMAO I find myself doing it watching tv, on the phone, driving, you get the idea...and it's the last thing I remember doing each night before/while falling asleep...it's a very relaxing thing for me...do it when I'm in deep thought, etc.
Oooops...am a work and it's lunch time...gotta run out to the bank. See you guys...have a great weekend!!!
If my hair is down....my hands are usually in it! It is therapeutic and relaxing. I kind of think that we with long hair need to run our hands through it on occasion, to spread the oils in our hair and hands to the ends of our hair. Kind of like a cat grooming his/her own fur. So I make sure to touch every piece so as to get even coverage!! I also enjoy the slight pull on my roots as I run my fingers through, and think it might be a good way to strengthen them....What do you guys think?

My hands in hair is the most comforting thing on earth..............Why do you think I do hair??

I like touching my hair (except for the ends sometimes). I don't do it all the time, but I do touch it. If I'm having a good hair day (which lately seems to be seldom) I love to look at it in the big mirror with a hand-held mirror. Is that crazy?? I really do love long hair! Sheila
