Your nail has a root, which is alive. After the nail is removed, the root remains, and begins to regrow the nail.
Hair and nail, are made of the same stuff, and are the same from an evolutionary perspective. If a hair is pulled out, it will re-grow, because the root is still there.

Every nail has a root. That's where it grows from.
