Where does the hair travel afther it is taken into nthe mouth?

After hair is taken into the mouth, it typically travels down the esophagus and into the stomach. From there, it may pass through the digestive system, but hair is not digestible and usually remains intact. It can eventually be excreted in feces. In some cases, if large amounts of hair are ingested, it may form a hairball, particularly in animals.
