A single strand of human hair is called a "strand" or "hair follicle".
No. Hair is dead. Hair follicles are the only alive part of the hair. They're what grow and contribute their dead cells to hair growth.
The presence of a blonde strand of hair among your natural hair color may be due to genetics or a random mutation in the hair follicle that causes it to produce a different pigment.
The bottom portion of a hair where DNA can be found is the hair follicle. This is the part of the hair embedded within the skin and contains cells with DNA. If the follicle is present on a hair sample, DNA analysis can be conducted to identify the individual it came from.
The only part of our hair that is living is the part that is inside our heads. Once the hair comes out it is no longer considered living anymore.

A single strand of human hair is called a "strand" or "hair follicle".
A strand of hair develops within a hair follicle, which is located in the skin. Hair follicles are structures within the skin that house the hair root and support the growth of hair.
A follicle is a small cavity or sac that holds a developing egg in the ovary. In the context of hair, a follicle is a tunnel-shaped structure in the skin from which hair grows.

The root is part of hair embedded in the follicle in dermis. It has an attached smooth muscle which can contract causing the hair to stand up right. This causes the skin to form a slight bump which we call a 'goose bump'.
The only part of our hair that is living is the part that is inside our heads. Once the hair comes out it is no longer considered living anymore.
The hair follicle is the part of the hair that contains the hair bulb, which is where the hair matrix or hair-producing cells are located. The hair bulb is connected to the rest of the hair strand by the hair shaft.
No. If the hair follicle splits all the way to the end, you will lose that strand of hair. It's a bad habit, try your best to stop!
