Hi
With your query, eating hair follicles definitely is not a good habit coz hair follicles will not be digested by human body and some all these undigested content may reach to appendix leading to appendicitis which is a matter of concern . Whatever I suggest you to stop eating.First of all due to stress and tension there will be so much hairfall apart from this your are pulling and eating so the later problem will how to get the hair back then you have ti consult hair transplant clinic so like this problems keep increasing.hope thus helpful
