Best Answer

People who eat eyelashes, eyebrows, or hair on their head and then eat it have a form of obsessive compulsive disorder know as trichotillomania. There are no physical benefits, but rather emotional ones as a way to deal with stress, anxiety or even boredom. It can lead to bowel problems if continued at a high rate.
