that's really weird!.!.but all i could think of that might help is if you chewed on dental floss, that's thin like hair, i hope that helps lolWww@Answer-Health@Com

By "eating" it do you mean just by putting it in your mouth!? I think you have Trichotillomania, which is an "Impulse Control Disorder"

You should really go to the doctors for this!. Tell your mom about it!. It's a serious disorder!.

First of all you should really try to stop doing this at all cost!. Your body cant digest hair and you can get very bad irritable bowel syndrom when your older!. It will just keep building up in your stomach!. The only thing I can think of is try putting a lot of product in your hair or leave in conditioner that way when you do try to eat it, it tastes really bad!. Good luck!. But really!.!.!.it's a health issue!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you should try to get a leave in hair conditioner or shampoo or w/e that tastes nasty, so whenever you eat it it tastes nasty!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

!.!.!.eat!? are you serious!? if you "eat" your hair, just cut it short to the point where your hair doesn't reach your mouth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Thats nasty and unhealthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I vote for shave your headWww@Answer-Health@Com
