Good luck to you!

My parents caught me when I was just starting when I was younger (I suffer from OCD/Tourettes also) and luckily I ended up stopping over time. I was young enough and had only had two long bald strips on my head when I was given something else to put in my hands, like silly putty at almost all times and when I was caught doing it I would be told not to, and eventually that helped me. I know I had a very mild case but I still remember the impact it had on me, including the names I was called for having random bald spots.
