How can I stop the horrible habit I have of playing with my hair???

I've tried. I swear I have. But I can't stop playing with my hair! I don't pull it out; I just can't stop playing with it. I'll feel like my hair isn't parted right so I'll end up moving hair over to the other side and vice-versa, and once my hand is up there messing with it it'll never come down! I've tried putting it up in a ponytail, but it's layered, so there's still plenty of loose hair up there that I always end up playing with anyway. Please someone tell me what I can do to help me stop! It's driving me crazy, and I feel like I'm ruining my hair! Everyone who knows me knows about this habit, and my family and all my friends have tried to help me get over it by yelling at me whenever I do it, but it still doesn't work--two minutes later my hands will be back in my hair. I don't know what to do! I'm ruining my hair and I'm tired of being known as the weird blond girl who can't stop playing with her hair! Can someone please give me some advice as to how to break this habit???

Devise a replacement action. If you're a hair-puller, start carrying a brush and brush your hair each time you get the pulling or twisting urge.

You could also try getting one of those hand exercise balls to keep your hands busy.

cut very short your hair and often puts a cap or shave your head, and when your hair grows up you forget the horrible habit ;
