Although there are many platforms contributing to the conversation surrounding African American hair loss, there is very little work that discusses the relationship shared between eroticism and self-inflicted behaviors. This research study utilized a narrative based approach in order to better understand how African American women have engaged in chronic hair pulling behavior as a satisfactory coping mechanism. Having worked with 3 participants for this study, I coordinated detailed interviews of self- identifying African American women between the ages of 18-35 that have engaged in chronic hair pulling behavior throughout their lives. These participants were selected from various cities throughout the metro-Atlanta areas. Additionally, I also utilized a non probability based sampling method, due to the specialized nature of the study.
