No the hair itself is actually dead cells, just like the finger and toe nails. The root of the hair is supplied with blood but not the hair.
I disagree.. Your hair is alive, that is how it grows. Your hair breathes!!
No, hair is not alive. Hair follicles at the base of the hair strand are living, but the hair strand itself is made up of dead cells and proteins.
Head hair typically grows the fastest compared to facial hair and body hair.
Humans have hair on their bodies to help regulate body temperature and protect the skin. This hair is much finer and less dense compared to fur or fleece found on animals. Additionally, humans have sweat glands that play a key role in thermoregulation.
Pubic hair is typically coarser and thicker than head hair, and it grows at a slower rate. Head hair tends to be finer and grows faster than pubic hair.
On average, humans shed about 50-100 hairs per day from their scalp. This shedding is a normal part of the hair growth cycle and is replaced by new hair growth.

The rats hair main function is to maintain body temperature, just like the hair on humans reduces loss of heat by radiation. They are different that the hair covers the entire rat, where as it is mostly on the top of the head for humans.
Blondes- with approximately 140,000 hairs on the head. Brown- 110,000 Black- 108,000 Red- 90,000
They don't really "do" anything it's just like how humans have hair on their heads.
Depends on each animal. On humans it seems they have no function except the head hair which has a protective function against heat and cold on the head.
The usual technique for getting rid of head lice is to shave off all the hair, so the lice are not hidden by the hair, and then the lice can be individually removed with tweezers. For those who are unwilling to lose their hair, it is also possible to get special shampoo that kills lice.
It's normal for humans to have hair all over, though in some places it may be very fine and considerably lighter in color than the hair on top of the head.
A pin has a head but no hair
I think coachroases will alive
Yes, fleas like hair and fur. So obviously the can suck human blood. Like the common head louse it prefers clean hair or fur.
