Hello highnrg1: The Skeezyks has been a long time hair puller... but not so much on the top of my head as on other areas of my body. Since I'm male, I have quite a few options...
It is true that pulling hair on your head can, over time, cause you to develop bald spots... places where hair simply will no longer grow. There used to be, I presume there still are, videos on YouTube related to this topic & what people who've developed bald spots do about them. I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions for how to stop this practice since I've never been able to stop it myself.
