Go to your doctor.  It could be lead poisoning.  Children eat odd things when a they have excessive lead.  Sometimes things like paint chips, too.  Check it out.

My son was a hair freak too when he was that age. He did not go looking for it in carpet of a hair brush, but he would try to get it into his mouth when he could.
We said no for about 2 months-- just did not let him have it-- and then it stopped.
