Chaetophobia Hair
Introduction
Chaetophobia is a condition where people have an abnormal fear of hair. The word "chaetophobia" comes from the Greek word "χαίτη (cheiti)," which means "hair." This phobia is often associated with trichotillomania, or compulsive hair pulling (also called trichophagia), so it can be hard to know if someone is suffering from one of these conditions or both. There are also people who have no desire to pull their own hair but still have fears about being around others' hair—this could be because they feel judged by others because of their own grooming habits or simply because they don't like how curly or not curly someone else's locks look on them!
Symptoms
Symptoms of chaetophobia include fear of hair, fear of being touched by hair, and fear of the sensation of hair. These symptoms are most often triggered by seeing or touching hair.
People with this phobia may experience anxiety at the thought that they are going to be touched by someone else's hair. They may also feel anxious when they see someone else's head or body covered in long strands of locks. If you have a phobia, you might also be afraid of brushes and combs because they can cause static electricity which will lead to the release of more hairs onto your body and clothes.
This type of phobia is considered one form within a larger category called "arachnophobia" (the fear arachnids) which also includes spiders and scorpions as common triggers for people suffering from it - though not all sufferers will necessarily experience all three types equally
When you get lost in your own head, it's hard to think straight.
When you get lost in your own head, it's hard to think straight. You don't know what to do. You feel confused and scared and frustrated all at the same time. You might even start to feel like you're going crazy—and if you have a fear of hair, that's exactly how things can feel!
It's important for someone who has a phobia of hair not to try too hard at first; otherwise, they could make themselves even more uncomfortable by thinking about their fears too much. Instead, try not thinking about it so much—just focus on other things instead!

The symptoms of Chaetophobia can vary depending on the person. Some people may have mild symptoms that are not noticeable to others, while others may experience more severe symptoms.
Many people with this condition crave long, heavy hair.
One of the most common physical symptoms of chaetophobia is an obsessive desire for long, heavy hair. Hair is a symbol of beauty and strength and is often used as a way to express yourself. Many people with this condition crave long, heavy hair because it feels like a shield against their fear.
Some people with severe chaetophobia may develop an unhealthy obsession with growing out their hair or wearing wigs in order to cover up their phobia; however, there are also many others who find comfort in having long hair despite not being afraid of cutting it off or being around scissors.
Self-esteem issues can be a big part of the problem.
When you don't like your hair, it can be hard to look in the mirror and see yourself. You may have low self-esteem or feel like your hair isn't as good as others'.
If you have a problem with being around people, then this could be related to social anxiety. If you're scared of going places where there are lots of people because they'll judge or criticize you, then it's possible that someone has made comments about your hair before that have made an impression on you.
It's also possible that other issues are at play here: depression; stress and anxiety; body dysmorphic disorder (BDD); low self-esteem; social anxiety
It may not feel like something is wrong with you, but you should talk to someone about it
Like many mental illnesses, chaetophobia can often be managed with therapy and medication. If you’re experiencing symptoms of this anxiety disorder, it’s important to talk to a professional about how you can work through them. You may also want to consider communicating with friends or family members who are understanding of your condition.
You should also speak with a hair stylist or barber if you have trouble getting haircuts from fear of seeing the hair falling on the floor or in water. Your stylist will understand the extent of your phobia and make sure that he or she is able to cut your hair without making you feel uncomfortable throughout the process.
Finally, if all else fails, you should make an appointment with a doctor for further evaluation and treatment options for any physical ailments that may be contributing factors toward your condition
