This has everything to do with where the hair is in your mouth; the gagging only happens when it stimulates the soft palate of the mouth or the back of the tongue. This is called the pharyngeal reflex, or, as porn puts it: the 'gag reflex'. It protects your airway and does so, not only by responding to large chunks of meat you don't want to swallow in, but also by a hair tickling a sensitive area.
Hair as a substance can't cause you to gag and, frankly, why would it? You get hairs in your mouth all the time without noticing it, while eating, for example, and while asleep hoovering them up from the bed. Hair is just dead tissue (contrary to what those products for women tell us), usually covered in grease and dirt; but that's nothing to worry about.

Is the environment inside the mouth good for growing hair?
No! Hairs grows from dermis of the skin. The buccal chamber (mouth) is internally lined by mucosa which do not carry hair follicles. Another thing is that hair is an exoskeleton (vestigeal in us). Its very development in the mouth was even not tried by mother nature during evolution. No normal person can swallow or tolerate hair in the mouth then how can mouth be good for growing hairs?. Nature is frequently ahead of man in its guesses. I like out of box thinking.

Can a person live without hair?
Hair is something that we can all live without. It serves very little useful purpose, yet, when it is lost, it can be devastating to us. Why? Because it is also part of our identity; it is part of what makes us different from other people; so, when hair is lost, that identity becomes lost. Whether dark, redhead or blond(e) - or scarlet or bright green if that is what we wish to do with it - our hair is making a statement about us in its style, color and length. This is why we are so distressed when the hair is lost.
