I twirl my hair here and there. I used to do it constantly. For a brief period when I was 10, I used to chew my hair a lot too.

I pick at the skin on basically any surface of my body. I can't help it, I just do.

Yes I twirl my hair. It's my biggest stim and I also flick it against my face. I grow it just long enough so that I can flick it against my mouth and nose repeatedly in an upwards motion and I do this all the time when I'm out and about. Also I use a lot of conditioner to make it really soft becaus it feels even better to do that then.

DITTO HERE. i still flip the ends of my hair and chew on it. I cant stand my hair to have much hairspray or gel in it. Its has to be soft and reallly shiny no matter what color it is.

Not only did I twirl my hair, I use to get out scissors and try to cut my hair. Got in so much trouble and yet I still did it. This happened around the age of 5,6,and 7 years of age.

Its really interesting. Really. I didnt chew my hair, but then I always had it cut in a bowl chop level with tops of my ears. I looked like a boy.... now that im older i dont chew on my clothes anymore and i let my hair grow... its a chin length bob now.
I loved the taste of fabric. I only stopped chewwing because i got to old to get away with it in public.

I pat my hair alot. just to make sure its sitting right. Also My mother cuts my my hair, I cant stand people i dont have a really, really, really close bond with touching it... si far Mum, and boyfriend can touch my head without my scalp crawling.

Yeah, as a kid, I'd twirl my hair and suck my thumb for comfort I guess, heh. Sometimes I still twirl my hair when falling asleep.

hair twiddling makes life possible. I always did it and wash and condition it pretty much every day as it has to be soft. My hair is curly so it wraps itself around my finger as I twiddle. I had my hair clipped really short for years but always left a piece at the front long so that I could twiddle it.
Knitting with a very soft cotton yarn can work as a substitute sometimes.

When I was little I followed my mom around twirling and knotting her hair, until it annoyed her enough to cut it short. Then I started doing the same to myself.

I had long hair that went all down my back up to my butt. But I never once twirled it or chew it.
