See that one hair? Is there an English word that describes that hair? [Not just that is one, but also a hair.]

How about a strand? I suppose you could complicate things by adding such words as single and solitary, but a strand is a strand; single and solitary would seem, then, to be redundant (though an argument could be made that strand needs the word one or a to accompany it, since to say "He has strand of hair" would not sound right).
