Chewing on hair, known as trichophagia, can be a form of a condition called trichotillomania, where individuals have an irresistible urge to pull out their hair. This behavior can be a way to cope with stress, anxiety, or other emotional issues. It is important to seek help from a mental health professional to address the underlying causes and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
