Teenage hair loss?
Hi - sounds like you don't have alopecia, but rather trichotillomania, which often requires medical intervention. If you have stopped pulling your hair out, it will grow back soon, but if you haven't stopped, you should go to a doctor, and you might have to go on medication to stop the behavior. Can you talk to your parents about it?
There is some info. below,but read here to see what other people have done about it (click on the links to the right of the page):

Trichotillomania (TTM) is an impulse disorder that causes people to pull out the hair from their scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or other parts of the body, resulting in noticeable bald patches. It is currently defined as an impulse-control disorder, but there are still questions about how it should be classified. It may seem, at times, to resemble a habit, an addiction, a tic disorder or an obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is estimated to affect one to two percent of the population, or four to eleven million Americans.
Who Gets Trichotillomania?
TTM seems to strike most frequently in the pre- or early adolescent years. The typical first-time hair puller is 12 years old, although TTM has affected people as young as one and as old as seventy. It is thought that ninety percent of those with TTM are women, but research is inconclusive and it may simply be the case that men are less likely to seek treatment and can more easily hide their symptoms. A form of TTM that affects very young children appears to occur in males and females at an equal rate and seems to be more benign in nature.
How Do I Know If I Have Trichotillomania?
Although the symptoms range greatly in severity, location on the body, and response to treatment, most people with TTM pull enough hair over a long enough period of time that they have bald spots on their heads (or missing eyelashes, eyebrows, pubic, or underarm hair), which they go to great lengths to cover with hairstyles, scarves or clothing, or makeup. The persistence of the compulsion can vary considerably: For some people, at some times, it is mild and can be quelled with a bit of extra awareness and concentration. For others, at times, the urge may be so strong that it makes thinking of anything else nearly impossible.
Why Doesn't Anyone Seem to Know about Trichotillomania?
TTM did not appear in the popular media in the United States until about 1989. As a result, many people with TTM have gone for many years without adequate Information about their condition, or appropriate treatment. Consequently, the one symptom that most people with TTM share is shame.

ouch.. i shall not comment on you pulling out your hair, but i shall say this.. try using olive oil. not the cooking type though. apply to your scalp at night before bed, and if u wish, shampoo it out in the mornings. i do that cos i cant stand the slightly greasy feel. but it really softens your hair. the vitE should help in hair growth.
for styles, i can only think of the ponytail. the high ponytail gives a nice innocent schoolgirl look. i hope ur patch is not too high though..

p.s. read the instructions on regaine before applying.

What you are doing is called Trichotillomania. "Hair Pulling". As far as products that will grow your hair back...do not use them. Once you stop using the products the hair can fall out and become worse...try pulling your hair back to cover it if it is long enough. And stop pulling. I have had this for 14 years. It is a heartache. See a doctor that can help you. This habit spirals out of control quickly and lots of people have it. Please feel free to email me at emt_hope911@yahoo.com if you need any further advise. My heart goes out to you.
