Download for Mac, Windows or AndroidLash and brow pulling is a body-focused repetitive behavior. It can be triggered by stress, boredom, concentration, or the feel of a coarse or out-of-place hair. It is not a lack of willpower, and it is more common than most people think.
Habit reversal training is the best-studied approach. It starts with awareness: noticing the urge and the hand movement. Then you practice a competing response, like pressing your fingertips together or holding a fidget toy, until the urge passes. Some people also wear glasses or keep their fingertips covered during high-risk times.
Turn on the Eyes/Lashes zone (and Hair/Forehead for brows). When your fingers reach that area, Habitron beeps right away. If they stay, the beeps get longer and a gentle reminder appears. All processing happens on your device; nothing is recorded or uploaded.
Habitron is a self-help awareness tool, not a medical device. If pulling is affecting your life, a therapist trained in BFRBs can help. The TLC Foundation for BFRBs (bfrb.org) lists specialists and support groups.
