If you get a normal red laser pointer, you can pretty easily measure it at home.
The wavelength of a red laser pointer is typically around 670 nanometers, the one you select may state differently; make note of it.
Take one of your hairs and suspend it in front of the laser somehow, but make sure its exactly 1 meter from a flat surface.
When you turn on the laser, you should see a dashed line pattern on the board. Measure the distance from the center bright spot to the farthest bright spot you can see and count how many this is.
The thickness of your hair is (laser wavelength)*(distance to flat surface)/(distance to bright spot). Then multiply this number by the number of bright spots you counted.
So, lets say i could count up to 4 bright spots before it got too dim; i measure the distance from the center to this one to be 5 cm; laser is 670nm and my flat surface is 1 meter away. My thickness is (670*10^-9)*(1)*4/ (.05) = 54*10^-6 meters = 54 micrometers

What is the thickness of human hair in thousands of an inch?
The average thickness of human hair is about 0.003 to 0.004 inches, which is equivalent to 3-4 thousandths of an inch.
What is the average thickness of the human hair in scientific notation?
The average thickness of a human hair is around 70 micrometers, which can be expressed in scientific notation as 7 x 10^-5 meters.
How much weight can one human hair hold?
On average, one human hair can support the weight of a small insect. However, this can vary depending on the thickness and condition of the hair.
Can you measure the radius of human hair in millimeters?
You can, but it is best to use a unit small enough so you dont have too many decimal places, such as microns (micrometres)

What unit of Mass measurement would you use to measure the thickness of a nose hair?
To measure the thickness of a nose hair, you would typically use micrometers (microns), which are one-millionth of a meter. This unit is appropriate as the diameter of a human hair is usually in the range of 50 to 100 microns. Using micrometers allows for precise measurement on such a small scale.

It depends on the specific item being referenced, but typically a bundle of 10 human hairs stacked together is needed to match the thickness of a single human hair.

What items visible to the human eye have a thickness of 0.1 mm?
A common example of an item visible to the human eye with a thickness of 0.1 mm is a sheet of standard printer paper. Another example could be the thinnest human hair strands, which can also range around 0.1 mm in thickness.

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.
How heavy is a hair?
A single strand of human hair typically weighs between 0.62 and 1.25 milligrams, depending on its thickness and length.
