Well ... it's not. If hair were a good conductor of heat, it would make a lousy insulator for the body - which is one of it's primary functions.
Consider outdoor dogs and cats during the winter ... their fur thickens to retain body heat as much as possible.
It does conduct "some" heat - but not very much.

Is glass a good conducter of heat?
yes. these are the best conductors of heat: copper aluminum, glass, brass and steel conduct heat the best

NO!!! the properties of metals are that it is a good conducter of heat!!! Please click on the trust button below if this helped.
Is steel a good conducter of heat?
Yes, very good. Gold and silver are better, but are generally too expensive for most purposes.
Describe an experiment to distinguish between good and bad conductors of heat?
gas is not the good conducter of heat and electricty because in gas the molecules are not tightly pack .molecule are very far away from each other,that"s why?
What is the difference between a heat conducter and a heat insulater?
A heat conductor is something which is could at transferring heat. Think of a metal spoon in a pan of boiling water. The spoon feels hot because the metal is good at transferring the heat to your hand. On the other hand, an insulator is something which is bad at transferring heat. They can be used either to keep heat in, or to keep it out. For instance, because air is a good insulator, hot water tanks often are covered in foam, which traps air, which helps to keep the heat in.
Why is metal a heat conducter?
because it's a good heat conducter Electric conductors tend to be good heat conductors, but the above seems reasonable.
Is iron a good conducter of heat?
Of course it is!
Is nichrome a conducter of heat?
yes,in fact it is good conductor of heat
Is a styrofoam a good conducter of heat or a bad conductor of heat?
It is a bad conductor of heat, that is why it is used as an insulating material.
Dose gold conduct electricty?
yes gold is a good conducter of heat and electricity
