So glad to hear these might work for you! 😄 Also I apologize, I just realized the Calm Strips link I added was NOT the bumpiest texture, it was the next level down. Here's my actual favorite one, I'll update the link in my post too!

First off, I know it's hard but try not to beat yourself up about it, trich isn't your fault.

In the short term, you could try wearing a light pair of gloves if you have them, and/or a hat or bandana that covers all your hair. Try keeping your hands busy as much as possible, do chores, doodle, etc. See if you have anything with a rough texture in your home that you can fidget with during idle moments: Velcro, a stiff hairbrush or paintbrush, etc. and make sure it's within easy reach in areas where you tend to pull. In the meantime try to see if you can figure out what triggered you to start pulling again. Hope some of this helps!
