Could hair cutting be considered self harm?
I know this seems like a bit of an odd question but I will do my best to explain. When I have urges to cut I often feel like I will explode if I don't cut. Do instead of cutting my skin I cut my hair. I want to grow my hair out I am embarrassed by it. I hate when people make fun of me for being a female with a shaved. It effects so much of my life, I hate the person in the mirror but I feel like I have to shave my head. I tried googling resources but didn't find anything. Thanks for any answers you have to offer.

its better than cutting other stuff, at least you dont get hurt that way

No. But it's obvious you have self esteem issues. Maybe see a shrink to get to the root of the issue - pun not intended.

If you have the looks, I'm all for it!

Here's an interesting idea. If you want to satisfy the urge to cut AND be able to grow you hair out. Become a hair stylist. You can cut other people's hair and put an end to being made fun of because you'll have a full head of beautiful hair. Also you'll have plenty of people to talk to who will actually listen and help overcome your pain.
