Yes. That's why cutting your hair doesn't hurt.
It isn't a blood byproduct.
So all those shampoos with vitamins are just a way to get you to spend your money. Hair is made of tightly coiled (super-coiled - the coiled strands are coiled around each other - like rope) proteins. It's like the outer layer of skin - it is also dead.

Yes, all hair is dead. This is the reason why it doesn't hurt when you cut hair. Hair is a living thing at the ends beneath the skin where it's connected to blood supply and nerves. Pain when you pull hair, pluck eyebrows, eyelashes.

Yes. All hair which you can see is dead. It's a by-product of blood believe it or not!

Techinically, yes. Fingernails and hair are just dead cells pushed out from the root.
