I eat my hair,how can i stop?

Answer 1

You could do what all the other people are telling you to do ( cut your hair off but why would you want to do that its your hair) or you could start spraying you hair with hair spray thats what my friend did and it made her stop as soon as you get that awful taste in your mouth you just want to spit it out. So when ever you get the urge to eat your hair you could grab something else to eat or maybe keep a large supply of suckers on you so you could suck on those when you want to eat your hair.

Answer 2

This could be a part of trichotillomania, or it sounds similar. It's an anxiety disorder, and you may have to go on medication (the type that's used to treat Obsessive-Compulsive disorder). You should go and see a doctor (a psychiatrist, preferably, but you can start with your regular doctor) In the meantime, try to keep your hair up in a bun and distract yourself when you have the urge to eat your hair... of course this is MUCH easier said than done, as with all addictions and compulsions. Good luck!

Answer 3

I did not even know people could do that considering how much a fish bone can make a person gag and choke. Anyway you may have a compulsive disorder or a deficiency. I remember my sis's doctor asking her if she had wierd craving for things people do not normally eat when she was pregnant like, clay, dirt, ice scraping from the freezer. cold spoons on her tongue or cornstarch because it was PICO: some kinda iron deficiency. Maybe you have a deficiency or OCD. Get help. Furthermore, ususally stuff that is not digestable in the body like fiber, coins, rubber (gum) are passed in you bowels not accumulated in the stomach or intestines.

Answer 4

Think of it as really gross. Hair is dead anyways when it grows out of our heads, it's just protein built up. Not to mention the skin oils that are on your hair, any chemicals or products. You can pull it back or cut it short so it's not in your way enticing you to eat it.

Answer 5

there's a term for that i forgot.. stop doing that as early as now coz it would get worse later.. Hairs are not digested so it accumulates inside your stomach hence giving you a very painful stomach ache. And you'll undergo surgery coz it's the only way to take out all the hairs that trapped in it..

Answer 6

I believe you are on you way to a cure because you have recognized a problem. When you feel the urge to eat your hair try doing something else. Also try a little prayer. God hears and answers prayers. God bless you!

Answer 7

don't eat ur hair- its bad for u. Sooner or later u will be getting stomach pains and you'll have less hair. Try picking ur hair up in a bun, or ponytail.

Answer 8

Apply some really bad tasting stuff on your hair. That should keep you from eating them.

Answer 9

When you say "eat my hair" do you mean swallow?

I know this sounds ridiculous, but JUST STOP. If you did it, you'd see it works!

Answer 10
