Nothing. Hair is made of keratin (the protein that fingernails and horns are made of) and other proteins. The body won't digest it, but it won't hurt you either.
There was a girl last year who had to have surgery to remove a giant hairball in her stomach, but that was a case of a girl with a mental disorder who had been chewing on the ends of her hair for several years.
That girl was, as I mentioned, a rare case that took years to get to the point of needing surgery.
You will have no ill effects, unless you had something on your hair (like dye or hairspray or gel) that caused the problems.

Your body will digest it & it comes out the other end.
Eek, this reminds me of that old MTV show "I Bet You Will"
A girl on spring break shaved a good portion of her head (leaving a mohawk looking thing) mixed it with a tub of butter & ate it all for $500.

Your hair is similar to your nails, actually. It will digest as much as possible, and be broken down to be used by your body, and may even grow out again as new hair ... there should be NO waste, however, so you won't poop or pee it out.

your stomach normally secretes hcl which is supposed to be what aids in the secondary digestion of your food. Therefore, your hair should be digested........well hopefully. anything your body doesn't retain usually gets fecated.
