There are a few things wrong here:

Your gutload isn't great...there are much better commercially available gutloads than what you are using. Check this forum's sponsors and the classifieds for better options. You should be dusting LIGHTLY with plain calcium (no added D3) more often than once a week. Dust with a herp vitamin about every 6 weeks, again very lightly. You should be relying on a good gutload to provide nutrition, and the dusting is just a gap-filler for something that might be missing.

I've never heard of horns being affected by too much heat. They could have been injured if he was trying to get out of a container or small cage. The brand of UV light is IMPORTANT to know. Check the printing on the ends of the tube. If the bulb has been used for 6 months get a new one! The UV they produce drops off after 6 months of use. Many brands of bulb do not produce the correct UV, so the brand matters. He could also have injured his mouth trying to get out of a too small cage, but jax tend to get infections on their gumline so make sure there isn't an active infection (red, swollen, patches of cheesy looking stuff on the lip or gum surface). This is painful and will keep him from eating and drinking.

Stop handling him so much. It causes a lot of stress, and a stressed cham won't eat. A jax won't eat fruit or veggies. Give this to his insects instead. Mealworms are not a good food because they are fatty and high in chitin. Choose softer bodied insects like flies, roaches, and occasional treats like waxworms.

You don't need to feed him 3 times a day. Put some feeders in a container in the morning and let him go to the container on his own. Make sure he can climb close enough to the rim of the container to watch the insects and shoot when he's ready. Don't stand close to watch him all the time...he will spend more energy watching you instead. I really doubt he was trying to eat your hair!
 
Sounds like he ate something he shouldnt have. Give him 1 more poop to sort it out as long as he doesnt have sunken eyes and still perches fine. Just keep him well hydrated and dont feed for 24 hours. Mine got some rancid phenox(SP) worms and 4 hours later threwup the whole batch and was sickly for a day.
