Guinea pig ate some of my hair.. is she okay?

I had my cavy out, and she was running around, climbing all over me, and she went on my should and started 'cleaning' my hair.. I pulled my hair out of her mouth, but some was still in there, and she swallowed it.. will this make her sick?

    Please do not worry. When my guinea pigs were babies they were forever trying to eat my hair. It will not do her any harm. Make sure you tie your hair up in future when holding her and she will not be able to do it any more. I did not notice my girls ate my hair until one day I looked at the back of my head in the mirror and found my hair was all different lengths!
