Hair, like your nails, is dead.
What's alive is the hair sac, where the hair is made. Think of a strand of hair as a tall stack of pancakes, and in the hair sac there's a very busy person frying more pancakes. When a new pancake is made, it's placed at the bottom of the stack, pushing the top of the stack further out.
