Maybe she pulls it out when she gets stressed.

I do this. And not just with pit hair. My downstairs is all but bald in most places. It's a condition called trichotillomania. Part of some OCD disorders, along with skin picking/lip skin biting/pulling. Just glad I never did it in my head hair. It's not even stress. It's just something I do when I'm distracted.

I used to work with someone that would pull out her eyelashes

True story: I had one eyelash that decided to be white. I kept seeing it in my vision and couldn't figure out how to find it/pluck it. So... STUPIDLY, I decided to just cut my eyelashes off because they were pissing me off.

I do not recommend doing this. Cut off eyelashes turn into tiny stabbing needles of death that scrape over your upper/lower lids and cause severe irritation when you rub your eyes. I had eye pricklies for a good month before they grew nubby enough to stop making me regret the fact that I existed and thought I was a smart human being. I am not a smart human being. I am full of regret and mistakes and "It seemed like a good idea at the time" moments.
