Hair Twirlers?

This helps me too. I have done so many knitting and crocheting projects because I am redirecting my energy. Doing this handwork also helps keep me from constantly snacking, because I don't want to get my project oily or dirty.

I've crocheted several dozen snowflakes while waiting for my old Commodore 128 computer to load data from disks. Of course, that was about two decades ago, but those snowflakes are still with me, and when I went up to my parents' house last year, they started decorating the Christmas tree with the snowflakes I had given them.

Twirler here, as is my youngest brother. Have done it all my life, I find it soothing.

As a small child, I would twirl my grandpa's hair when we laid down to take our nap. After he died, I would twirl my hair, when I was sick. Momma would know i was starting to run a fever when she saw me doing it.

Maybe the dog's not "scratching" as much as he's trying to twirl his fur!!!


I'm a twirler. My baby daughter is too-especially when she's tired. She'll twirl the hair on the front center of her head and suck her thumb. It's so bad her hair has broken off and she's got a little bushy thing going on. SHe's black and I can braid that part of her hair, but she'll unravel the braids to twirl that part.

How 'bout beard pullers?

I do need to pull the too frequent hair on my "chinny, chin, chin" !

But fortunately I haven't (yet) developed enough beard to "pull"!

Can I pretend to be a twirler, since I've lost most of mine???

Oh, you need to try Vaniqa! I wished I had tried it YEARS ago.

My name us amwitched and I am a split-end picker.

Thanks for this thread. My son twirls his hair and he is 38. I don't remember him doing it as a child, but he said he did. He does it only when he watches T.V. and is into the show. I though it a bit unusual for a man that age, so I am glad you all posted.

I did when I was little and in bed to go to sleep--I sucked my left thumb and would grab a hunk of hair with my right hand and finger the end of the strands of hair. I could really go to sleep then. Thanks goodness I stopped all that by the time I was ten years old. What would my husband have thought?

I'm a twirler too. My son is a twirler. Like many, he does it more often when he's tired. I just do it when I'm bored or thinking about something.

My son, when he was a baby, twirled the crown of his head so much that he actually pulled out hair and had a bald spot up there! We solved the problem by cutting his hair really short. That broke him of the habit, or at least lessened it, so the hair grew back in. I caught him at it again today at wrestling though (see other post, LOL).

i am as well i do it when i am scared ,tired,,bored,,not feeling good...can't sleep or just because

I'd offer to let you give mine a tug but we're bearin down on spring shearing time, when I quit having young kids pointing to tell their mums I look like Santa and when the Mrs. can give me a smooch and not fight the scratchies.
