Root rituals

Be careful when reading this.  Most trichtsers get affected by root talk.. it makes us want to pull.. so if you feel like that, get out of this page!

Paste the hair to a mirror

‘Paint’ with the root/smear it

Let the root stick to a page, then pull it softly, see it ‘jump’.

Put the hair (with the root) on the upper lip/cheek to feel how cold it is.

Eat/bite the root. Especially the red-tipped, crunchy ones seem to be a favourite.

Pull the hair between the teeth, to get the root off

Hold the hair up against a light or light background (paper) to see the root and the black tip better.

I pull out a hair and make sure it has a root on the end then I get a pair of toenail cutters and pull the hair throught them and try to get the root of and not break the hair.

when I get a hair with the root, I like to rub the hair on my thumb nail and nudge the root
until one side becomes loose...the best is when I get the root off in one piece. I save them :)

I do the same (above), but once I have it off, I also like to press it slightly to get the black inside to slide out slowly

Also, what's the story behind the red-tipped roots? I have an unbelievable craving to find these
"crunnas" as I named them when I was seven or eight years old. Why are they crunchy? I also like
to sacrifice an occasional crunna by laying it on a sheet of paper and steamrollering it with a pen
or pencil. You hear a very satisfying pop as the pen flattens the root.

I love to stand in my living room in front of this huge mirror with great lighting and pull out hair after hair. I love the little dark, course ones with a passion. I can stand there for hours. It is like I go into another world. then afterwards, I look down at the floor and see this big mound of what used to be my beautiful hair. I have a moment of regret, then I reach down and pick them up...I have decided to compare the already pulled ones. This means looking at them for very long periods of time. I will take them and place the darkest ones against my hand or a piece of paper...saving them until I find one that is darker or more
course. Then there is my car. I will have all kinds of clips in my hair to get to that perfect spot with the darkest hairs. I look in the rear view mirror and try to find the darkest, and almost wreck seventeen times in a five minute drive. Then, I will get out of the car and look down at the pile and begin comparing just like i do at home. This is getting really old, as people have started noticing these bald spots. it is very
embarassing sometimes. alot of the time, really. I cannot go to church unless I can sit on the last row where no one can see the back of my head. Then I have to walk around with my hand covering the back of my head so that no one sees it. In my office at work, I have to have the very last desk, so that no on sits behind me.

while studying, i would pull my hair for the root... and then take the root and warm it on a light bulb (study lamp) and then eat it... don't know why i did that....guess i thought i was frying it..
making it seem like some sort of nutrient that i needed....

after pulling I burn the root with a the lit end of a cigarette. If i am in bed with a love I will put a pulled hair down my pants, so they won't find random hairs laying in bed (discard the edvidence). i take sharp skinny objects (mechanical pencils, needels, cat wiskers, what ever is around) and poke through
the first layer of scalp. I go to get my hair washed once a week, i get my hair braided (with extentions) and when i pull my hair out of the braids it is more "kinky".

When I pull my hair, and I don't get a red tipped root, I will pick a scab until it bleeds. Then I will dip the root into the blood and watch as the whole thing turns red. I then suck on it and chew it. This makes me happy in my own sad twisted way.

I'm allways looking for for the place where it has the feeling of "good pain" then I pull it out. I have learned how to
pull it exacly perfect so I get the root. Then I will take it and sreak the root accross my cheak or lips to feel the
stickyness of the root. Then I will slide root off and lick the root onto a wall or something so I can come back and get
it. Then latter I will comback and suck on them.

I like the way the short scalp hairs sound when I pull them out. It is either a "pop" sound or a "squeak" sound. When
I pull the short stubble hairs I put them on to the wall or mirror. They stick because the root is wet.
