Chaetophobia is a fear of hair. This phobia can be a fear of a person’s own hair, other people’s hair or even animal hair. People with chaetophobia might be afraid of a hairball on the ground, or combing their hair. They will generally avoid situations where other people touch their hair and often find it extremely difficult to get haircuts.
This phobia may arise from a traumatic experience involving hair. Some examples are a bad haircut or losing large amounts of hair, such as going bald. It could also be caused by someone believing that hair is dirty and not wanting to come into contact with it.
