1 Grab the wrist of the hand holding your hair with both hands. This is a strategically important first step, as it prevents the other person from completely controlling their body. When someone has grabbed a fairly large portion of your hair, practically all you have to do is move in the direction where you are pulled, since it is much more convenient for the attacker to apply force.

• Let the attacker move your head a little, but not pull your hair.

2 Keep the wrist of the attacker close to your head to limit his control of himself. With your hands, you should grab the opponent's wrist on both sides so that your fingers and thumbs lie on top of the wrist, but do not cross. You can take some advantage for yourself by grabbing the opponent's wrist and holding it close to your head, so you limit the opponent's control over you.

• Step forward towards the attacker's pulling motion to use his energy against him.

3 Move one hand up and grab the opponent's pinky finger. This is the weakest toe, so this is the easiest way for you to step in and free yourself from the grip. Luckily, you don't need to be particularly strong to do this, as a broken pinky will likely force your opponent to let go.

• Don't try to bend all of your opponent's fingers at once. The little finger is a small and weak finger, which, in terms of strength, does not come close to the strength of the entire hand.

4 Quickly bend your opponent's pinky finger towards his wrist. Use your body weight and your other hand to apply even more strength. You need to push the opponent's wrist with one hand, and with the other, bend your little finger back, at the same time try to step back to free your hair.

Method 2 of 3: How to remove an attacker's hand if he grabbed your hair from the side of your head

1. 1 Grab the wrist of the opponent's hand that is holding your hair with one hand. Just like in the first case, this will prevent the attacker from gaining full control over your body and movements. Stand so that it is comfortable to maintain balance, and with the help of this hand, resist the movements of your opponent. Even if the attacker is stronger than you and, in principle, can pull you as he pleases, this is only the first action that should make the opponent lose his balance.
2. 2 Reach out with your other hand and slide your fingers under your opponent's pinky finger using your own hair. Grab the little finger with your fingers - as many as you can stick under it. The more pressure you can put on that finger, the better.
3. 3 Bend your finger towards the opponent's wrist. The faster you make this move, the better. Because of the pain and shock, the attacker will loosen his grip and you will be able to break free.
   • If the attacker won't let go of you, keep bending his little finger until it breaks.
   • Keep your elbow in front of your face to protect yourself from the attacker's free hand, as he can still hit you with that hand.
4. 4 Move away from your opponent's free hand while bending his little finger. You use both of your hands to free yourself from the grip, and the attacker still has a free hand to attack you. To prevent the next attack, bending the opponent's little finger, at the same time push his hand away from you. By repeating the attacker's movement (the way he pulls your hair), you will avoid injury and cause the opponent to move or turn before he can try to strike with his free hand. Even if he tries to punch, he will not have enough strength to do so in the few seconds before you break his pinky.
   • By pivoting towards the attacker's hand, you move him to a position in front of you, which will allow you to escape as soon as you release his hand.
5. 5 Step back immediately to get away from your opponent and be able to escape. First, you step forward defensively, and then, as soon as your hair is free, immediately move back. You have a few seconds to escape.

Method 3 of 3: How to Fight Back (Advanced Techniques)

1. 1 Always try to grab the opponent's wrist in your hair to limit their control. The very first response, if someone grabbed your hair, is always the same - grab the wrist of the attacker. Hold your opponent's wrist firmly and bring it as close to your head as possible so as not to let yourself get hurt and maintain control over your own body.
2. 2 Hit your opponent's elbow joint directly with your fist or the edge of your hand (karate) as soon as you pull him close enough. With one hand, you need to grab the opponent's wrist and pull him closer to you so that he cannot push you in all directions. Once you succeed, strike your opponent's elbow with your other hand. Aim slightly above the joint where it meets the biceps for best results.
   • Hit with your knuckles to hit harder and deal more damage.
   • Press down on your biceps from the inside of your arm, move towards your elbow until you find a tender point that bends your arm slightly when you press it. This will be your target during the attack.
3. 3 At the same time, knee into the opponent's groin area. Moving closer to the enemy, you take a step with the foot, which is further away. Use this movement to turn it into a hard knee kick to your opponent's body. Do not hesitate and deliver this blow as quickly as possible after hitting the opponent's elbow.
4. 4 Bounce back immediately to get away from the attacker. As soon as the attacker lets you go and you are on the ground with both feet, quickly move back and use this hitch to escape.

Tips

• It is very important to exercise - no real-life attacks will look exactly as shown in the video, and exercise will help you adapt to small changes in real life.

Warnings

• Self-defense techniques need to be adapted to the specific situation you find yourself in - don't expect these movements to work if you can't adapt them to real-life situations.
