Dermatophagia is a psychological condition similar to obsessive-compulsive disorder. If you feel that your finger biting is uncontrollable no matter what, you may have this treatable condition. The symptoms of dermatophagia are as follows: Bleeding skin. When you have dermatophagia, you bite the skin around your nails so much that it causes bleeding. Skin discoloration is common. Hangnails and other nail damage may occur. The fingertips may be calloused from excessive biting. If you have dermatophagia, it's important to get outside help to deal with the condition. Like obsessive compulsive disorder, it's very difficult to cure this on your own. Make an appointment with a therapist who knows what the disorder is and has experience treating your condition. A therapist will be able to help you figure out if your condition is caused by anxiety, and treat the underlying problem. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a form of therapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts and behavior. This has been found to be very helpful in treating anxiety disorders. Seek out a support group, either in person or online, for extra help in dealing with the disorder. Make an appointment with a psychiatrist to explore whether medication could be the right choice for you. Some anxiety disorders respond very well to medications in addition to psychotherapy. Depending on your needs, a psychiatrist may prescribe one of the following types of medications: Antidepressants such as serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) Buspirone Benzodiazepines

Summary: Get a diagnosis for dermatophagia. Seek the help of a therapist. Consider medication.

Some e-mail providers may not allow you to send ZIP files for reasons such as security concerns or incapability with ZIP files. Your recipient may not be able to open or extract ZIP files from their e-mail provider. Ask if they have a different e-mail that you could contact them with. If you are compressing a large number of files, the size of you ZIP file may become too large for your e-mail provider to send. Most e-mail providers will have limits to the sizes of your attachments. Consider creating two or more ZIP files and sending these files in separate e-mails. If you are sending an already compressed ZIP file, you will need to extract the files. Then compress them separately. Some e-mail providers may not allow ZIP files to be attached or only permit a limited list of file types that exclude ZIP files. You can change the extension of your ZIP file to trick your e-mail provider into thinking the file is not a ZIP file. The file should work exactly like a ZIP file but will just have a different extension name. ZIP programs such as Winzip allow you to create custom file extensions. For example, if you type zea (zipped email attachment), the zipped attachments will be named "file.zea" rather than "file.zip". This would enable you to send the ZIP file without error. It's important to note that this method does not always work. As well, you may need to download third party programs to change the extension name of your ZIP file. Most e-mail providers will warn you if a file has not been completely uploaded if you attempt to send your e-mail. As well, some e-mail providers will display the upload progress for you to watch. When a file is uploaded, it should appear in the attachments section of your e-mail or just under the main body of the e-mail.

Summary: Try a different e-mail provider. Separate large ZIP files. Use a custom file extension. Make sure your ZIP file attachment has completely uploaded before sending.

Unclip the top section, and run a brush through it again. Use one hand to hold your hair into a ponytail, and use the other hand to smooth out the top section, making sure it's sleek and smooth. Tie it with a hair tie, making sure it's secure against the crown of your head. Ariana doesn't usually wear loose ponytails, so you should wrap the holder around your hair 2-3 times so that it's tight. You may want to use a gel, hair spray, or other hair product to increase the sleekness of your ponytail. Use your brush to smooth down any flyaways. If you don't have naturally straight hair, start with blown out hair to make your ponytail sleeker. Grab a small piece from the back of the ponytail. Wrap it around the base of the ponytail so that it completely hides the hair tie. Ariana never has chunky hair ties showing, and this will make the entire hairstyle look more polished. Bobby pin the strand of hair into place. Once your ponytail is secured, you'll need to add some curls to blend it with the rest of your hair. It's easiest to do this after your ponytail is up because you can see exactly where you need to curl. Again, you'll only want to curl the very ends of each strand, rather than the entire piece. Once you've created your curls, run your fingers through them to soften them up. Lift your ponytail straight up, and use a rattail comb or hairbrush to tease the base. This will a bit of lift and volume to the ponytail, so that it looks extra full and bouncy. Make sure to only backcomb the underside of the ponytail, so that the top still looks smooth and sleek. Spray your hairstyle with hairspray to ensure that it holds up all day.

Summary: Tie your top section into a ponytail. Cover your hair tie with a strand of hair. Curl the ends of your ponytail. Tease your ponytail.

Because any technique that strips color from your hair is drying, you'll likely notice dryness, brittleness, or split ends in your hair afterwards. Deep-conditioning will give your hair an instant infusion of nutrients and restore some of the moisture stripped by the treatments. You can either buy a conditioning product or make your own with castor oil. Focus the deep conditioner on the ends of your hair, which will likely be the most brittle. Your hair will still need extra care and moisture in the weeks following color removal. Once a week, apply a moisturizing hair mask to your whole head and leave it on for the directed amount of time, then gently rinse it out with warm water. You can either purchase hair masks or make your own with ingredients like yogurt, honey, and olive oil. To keep from damaging your hair further, try not to use hot tools like curling irons, straighteners, and blow dryers. Wait until you've been using moisturizing treatments for a few weeks and your hair feels strong and healthy enough to handle heat. Since your hair will be dry and brittle after these color-removing treatments, you'll need to give it a break from shampoo as well. Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to clean your hair once every 2-3 days. In between, your hair will have time to regain its natural sebum, which makes it healthy and shiny. If your hair feels extremely brittle, just give it a quick rinse and apply conditioner to the ends. Since Kool-Aid isn't a permanent, chemical-heavy hair dye, you won't need to wait too long before dyeing your hair again. Waiting 4 weeks should give your hair time to strengthen and replenish its moisture, but you may need to wait an extra 1-2 weeks if your hair still feels dry.
Summary: Use a deep conditioning treatment after using any color-fading methods. Use a moisturizing mask once a week to keep your hair hydrated. Avoid hot styling tools until your hair is healthy again. Shampoo every 2-3 days to let your hair restore its natural oils. Wait 4 weeks before dyeing your hair again.
