According to The Physics Factbook, the diameter of human hair ranges from 17 to 181 µm. A micrometer (British spelling: micrometre) symbol µm, is one millionth of a meter, or equivalently one thousandth of a millimeter. It is also commonly known as a micron. It can be written in scientific notation as 1×10^−6 m, meaning 1/1,000,000 m.

What unit would you use to measure the thickness of a hair?

Units aren't used to measure anything. After you complete the measurement, using equipment suited to the purpose, you use units to describe the result of your measurement, and to tell other people about it.

How do you measure the length of your hair?

I find the best way is to get a piece of string and place it at the top of your head. Pull it tight and measure out where the average lenght of your hair is. Then measure the string, to find the actual length. Otherwise, a pretty easy (but less exact) way is to take a ruler, place it against the side of your head with the 0 inches at the top of your head and measure to where your hair falls.
