The only part of the hair which is living is in the root - so yes, I suppose you could call hair dead cells.

Hair is made of protein which originates in the hair follicle. As the cells mature, they fill up with a fibrous protein called keratin. These cells lose their nucleus and die as they travel up the hair follicle. Approximately 91 percent of the hair is protein made up of long chains of amino acids.

yes it is made up of dead cells cause if it isn't you'll have a lot of screaming when you get a hair cut
