    Trichotillomania. It's a mental disorder. Look it up.

      Yep. I knew a girl who had this bad. It was gross to see her eat hair and at about 26 years old had really thin hair (you could see thru to her entire scalp).

        It's a pretty serious condition from what I understand. It has its obvious cosmetic effects but we aren't meant to eat hair. Even cats hack up their hairballs.

    I knew this girl. She was in a car accident with her dad. Only she survived. She started developing this habit where she would curl her hair with her index finger and she would eat her hair. She had to get her stomach pumped on two occasions.

    I once saw a YouTube video about weirdest things that got stuck on people's internals and one swallowed so much hair that she needed surgery to get it all out. Go seek mental help, or probably a Therapist.

    it is not normal. It is a disorder. The very word dis - order means against the natural order of things...

    Seek professional mental help. It is a sign of larger emotional or mental issues...
