Yes, hair could impact and you should do what you can to prevent your tort eating it.

It's very difficult to control though. My daughter's hair gets everywhere

It can, I have a lot of long dark hair and I shed. Try as I might they eat it some times. Just remember, if they have a hair hanging out of their backside DO NOT pull it, just cut it off and let the rest work its way out.
