Grows from scalp
Hair is the fine threadlike strands that grow from the skin of mammals.
Human hair grows most densely on the head, where it serves as protection and decoration.
A single strand is also a hair: There's a hair in my soup.
Hair suggests extreme fineness—a hair's breadth is the narrowest possible margin, and to split hairs is to make overly fine distinctions.
Let your hair down means relax; hair of the dog is a drink to cure a hangover.
