[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 440944, member: 1233"] I think the fact that it started after you lived with your father is very telling. Maybe the improvement now is partly due to the ereader and ipod games, but largely due to the fact that you have taken action against your father via the deposition and talking about it with your family? Maybe having gone through that has partly dealt with the reason it began and that is lessening its' grip on you? Of course keeping your hands busy helps a great deal, doesn't it? One reason I cannot sit and watch tv with nothing to do is that my feet always itch and the skin peels off in big sheets. If my hands are busy they don't pick at them. It is part of the psoriasis/psoriatic arthritis and they will peel with-o my hands helping but not usually as bad now. When they peel it is like walking on glass shards every step - and the docs wonder why I don't want to walk for miles. Hmmmmm let me think.....? Idiots. Anyway, I am so glad you are enjoying short hair. Go to a beauty supply store nad explore what they have in temp hair color. It is pretty easy to do just sections. Or many stores sell tubes with wands like mascara wands that are for your hair. Those won't do much on black hair though. You may have to bleach the color out to get a color to really stand out, but a temp all over wash of red or lavendar or whatever can be fun. You can also get hair gel that is colored and shows on many hair colors - it comes in wild colors. For a long time I had about six diff colors around for the kids to play with. As long as they were not sitting on the furniture or bedding I didn't care. The color would come off if put on too thick and stain fabrics. And of course the kids put it on too thick! But to wash it out took a fairly strong shampoo. We started wtih the one sold by the co that made the gels, but found that prell or pert worked just fine and much cheaper. Or two washes with suave daily clarifying shampoo. We have an awesome picture of the kids, husband and I and my mother with that stuff getting our hair to do wild things. It is pretty amazing. Since you have the thick thick hair (I do too), at least get some reg hair gel and rub it through and the stand with your head hanging down and blow dry your hair - the goal is to get it to all stand up straight away from your head.
