That’s amazing. I wasn’t aware some people ate hair like that. Even more so, why wouldn’t it dissolve and be digested? That was a LOT of hair (apparently over a long period of time). I guess the young lady learned her lesson.

I wonder that also. Pets or people - why doesn’t hair digest?

Hair doesn’t dissolve in stomach acids. You need to eat a lot of fiber/roughage to actually bind it and push it through you.
