Help with a new hairstyle.

Hi there, this is my first time posting in this sub for help and I’m actually really glad this sub exists. I have been pulling in my hair since elementary school and it has now been around six years I have lived with the condition. I’ve tried counseling in middle school but it never helped and it’s really just been the same all the way up to now in my junior year of high school. It’s gotten better throughout the years though , but to be honest I still do pull frequently and sometimes leave bald patches in my hair. I’ve never really been able to do more than one hairstyle that can protect my hair, but I decided to do a different style for my homecoming dance which requires my hair to be out instead of in its usual protective style of two strand twists. I was looking for tips to help keep myself from really pulling in it too much. Any tips help. Thank you so much.
