I have a 5 or 6 month old cat, and when she sits in my lap, she trys to eat my hair. She tries to eat my mom's too. Is this normal?

This is normal behavior. One of my cats loves to sit on the back of the couch and rub her nose in my hair and chew on it. It's actually pretty annoying! She's just doing it because she likes you and because cats are playful and like to paw at and bite things.

This seems to be normal behavior for a cat. Mine sits on the back of the couch and rubs her body all around in my hair. And she does the same thing to everyone else in the house.
I always thought that it was because maybe my hair reminded her of yarn or a string and we all know how cats love to play with those.

:) LOL, I have to smile and laugh because my cat does the same thing and I have noticed it is right after washing my hair that he does this. Maybe they just like the smell of fresh clean hair? Animals are funny, whatever they do is pretty normal thats why we love them!

I had a cat who loved the smell of hair products. Especially hairspray. She would sit behind us and just chew on the hair. It could be this, or it could just be that she's playing. : )

My cat likes to bite my washed hair too, I think she just likes the smell. I think it's cute.

Curiousity. You cat needs play toys.

Same with my cats! it is nothing to worry about at all...all cats love to poke and nip and things that have texture. It's really funny when they do that! :)
