What is the plural for 'hair' please
Guest, 5 yr 315 days ago
hair itself. Some people say "hairs" & that is wrong.

yeah, I have a blond hair and a brown eye. Typical first level mistakes.

Don't you use 'hairs' when you want to refer to hair strands as individual objects in a group, as opposed to the whole of someone's hair?
As in 'I have split hairs'.
