Try putting an elastic band around your wrist, and pull on it when you start to tug at your hair. I know this sounds extremely typical, but it really DOES work. Not only does it keep you occupied, but it tricks your brain into thinking that pulling out your hair has negative consequences. If you connect the pain of slapping the elastic on your wrist with tugging on your hair, your brain will subconsciously stop doing it after a certain amount of time.
