    no they are not living. they are dead cells from the skin, made up of keratin (proteins. and hair has fibers too.

    Only the fungus that forms under nails and the lice that scourges some people's hair.
    That's your only chance of finding life in these regions.

    in you body it is living. once it has grown out from your skin it is non feeling substance. but it can now tell your history, everything you do to your body is in your hair.

    Hi!
    Hair is composed of non-living tissue, mostly of a fibrous protein known as keratin and is devoid of nerves.

    Hope this helps!
