Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
From your history I feel that he is suffering from a behavior problem .
He is eating hairs almost daily means that he is suffering from Trichotillomania.
Better you consult Psychiatrist for his problem.
Hope this answer serves your purpose .
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
