Here are a few tips...

it sucks.

you feel alone, weird, and frustrated that you can't stop.
Exhilirating, in the moment you find and puul that one perfect hair, relishing the experience, and just staring at the root and biting it or playing with it. Then, when you're done, you HAVE to scramble for another one. And later, you deeply regret it.
