No the hair itself is actually dead cells, just like the finger and toe nails. The root of the hair is supplied with blood but not the hair.

I disagree.. Your hair is alive, that is how it grows. Your hair breathes!!

Yes, hair is considered "dead" because it is made up of keratinized cells that are no longer living. The hair follicles that produce the hair, however, are alive and responsible for hair growth.
