-An uneven appearance to the hair

-Bare patches or all around (diffuse) loss of hair

-Bowel blockage (obstruction) if people eat the hair they pull out

-Constant tugging, pulling, or twisting of hair

-Increasing sense of tension before the hair pulling

-Other self-injury behaviors

-Sense of relief, pleasure, or gratification after the hair pulling
