Sophie`s hair. Surely it`s not normal______

Topics

brisket

Surely it`s not normal to have your hand in your hair nearly all day.
I would guess she is touching her hair 90% of the time. That can`t be normal.
I find hair-tossing very irritating.
But what Sophie does is so extreme.
I can`t imagine having my hand on my head for most of the day.
Is it abnormal? Should she get help?

Just superglue her hand to her head and see how long it takes her to notice.

She's obsessive about it isn't she, I find it very annoying to watch. I wonder if any HM's ever commented on it it

Twirling hair is like a comfort blanket. I do know someone that does it all the time like sophie

It is something that I have noticed on other BB shows that the ones with the extentions keep playing with their scalp and their extentions fall out in big clumps everywhere, I dont like extentions on anyone natural looks best,Sophie would be better taking them out she would look much better IMO

How easy is it to remove stenshuns?

Did anyone notice during the magazine task last week that she played with the redhead wig whilst wearing it?

Did she?
That`s interesting. As Koala said in a previous post, perhaps she cannot control it. That`s a shame (apart from being irritating.)

It's the extensions ... they're obviously annoying her ...

I STILL don't understand why any of the female (or male

) HMs go into the house with extensions ...

Sophie is a good looking girl and I'm sure her hair would have looked just fine without those damned extensions added to it ...

I have no idea I remember Makosi removed hers and she looked much better

I have an AWFUL habit of pulling my fingers through my hair (I hate knots in my hair) - I do it all the time, and its almost totally an 'anxiety' thing. Watching Sofie tho, I DO believe that she's irritated by the glue (or whatever it is) or whatever extensions she has got left

ps ^^^ my hair is naturally long and therefore never had these 'extension' thingies lol - how much more fake can you get - fake boobs, fake eyelashes, fake eyebrows, fake hair, fake nails...

EVERYONE knows the secret to attraction is good hair/teeth/nails.... bit of a shame if they're all false

Those extensions must be so itchy and scratchy by now.

it looks like sophie on had about 3 extensions left they just looked like rat tails and her own her looked matted too. surely a good wash and conditioner on her own hair would look much nicer now.

She's just checking it's still there. There isn't much left and if she lasts until final night, she could be going out bald.

I think dying, hair glue have took its toll, she needs to get a specialist on that, its really thin for a young girl

I think she has a version of Tricotillomania... (a compulsion to pull out hair) It is unconscious.. stress related disorder... and as other posters have said, very hard to control.

You maybe right, I had a friend who unknowingly pulled out her edges

I have it myself PCE, have had it since teenager.
It is a compulsion and you simply cannot help it. Some people have very severe. It is not understood very well, but getting more recognised. Sophie's unconscious reaching for her scalp is a sure sign. I thought it was because of her extensions to start with but it is more than that

I think you're right there. My sister-in-law had it from a child and even pulled her eyelashes out. She's mostly over it now but has the odd episode when she's stressed. The worse part of it though, is that the eldest of her four daughters sometimes does it too, but their GP said it's a secondary type where she just copied her mum after seeing her do it since she was a baby.

That's good to hear that you sister in law almost over it. These OCD's are learned.. passed on to kids particularly daughters, but hopefully your niece will get over it too. I hope so

I see my five year old looking her hair and fiddling with it like I do and it makes me really sad.

I've mostly got it under control now but I did have a big bald patch under the right hand side at the back when I was going through a particularly stressful time.

When I'm really tired, I still catch myself sucking my thumb and twirling a bit of my hair. I'm 44

I do like Sophie

but her hair is in desperate need of a really good hairdresser

..... It's a pitty they couldn't send someone in to sort it out for her ........... It's bloody minging

Thanks for throwing light on this folks.
In my opening post I said "not normal" and "irritating", because apart from finding it annoying I did suspect that it was unnatural to do it to the extreme that Sophie does.
So I much appreciate what some of you have added from your own experiences about this issue.
I am now wiser. Thanks folks.

They don't - although I was always warned that they would!
