If you're talking about metric to imperial I think I can help! As an inch is 2.54cm and is usually referred to in thousandths, the metric system tends to be more precise as mm are usually used. As you can probably see though, you can get the same measurements from each but in a different format. EG. a thousandth of an inch is 0.00254mm but a thousandth of a mm is 0.001mm So really what I'm saying is.... choose your preference!

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. I would measure the thickness of a hair using a micrometer, and express the result in millimeters.
