  ACHALASIA AND ESOPHAGEAL MOTILITY DISORDERS
It is characterized by the absence of muscular contractions in the lower half of the esophagus and by failure of the valve at the bottom of the esophagus to open and let food into the stomach.
Motility disorders are persistent problems, usually lasting months or years, so if you experience only a brief episode of symptoms it is unlikely that you have a true esophageal motility disorder.
Motility problems are sometimes suspected if the physician identifies a muscular narrowing at the level of the valve between the esophagus and stomach, changes in the appearance of the lining of the esophagus, or the finding of retained food in the esophagus.

 Sluggish Motility in the Gastrointestinal Tract
By that I mean that the primary problem is not a hairball, but rather a problem with sluggish motility of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) leading to dehydration and impaction of material in the stomach and cecum.
If the motility is reduced as in diets that are too low in indigestible fiber, then the stomach and cecum will empty slowly.
To sum it up, the cause of this condition is not the presence of hair in the stomach, but rather a GIT motility disorder that results in firm impacted stomach and cecal contents.
