Baby comfort hair pulling

Since my daughter could self soothe she has always twiddled With her hair. As the hair has got longer, she started to pull on it. She pulls her hair out of one area and then moves to another area on her head with a hair is still long enough for her to pull out. I’ve taken her to be Assessed by a professional who said she’s just doing it to comfort and there’s nothing wrong (she’s almost 2 so she’s too young to have a hair pulling disorder). I’m just really wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how I can get her to stop pulling her hair out. I’ve tried introducing other comforters but nothing works. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
