Etymology
From Middle High German and Old High German hār, from Proto-West Germanic *hār, from Proto-Germanic *hērą, from Proto-Indo-European *keres- (“rough hair, bristle”).
Compare Dutch haar, West Frisian hier, English hair, Danish hår.
Pronunciation
Noun
Haar n (strong, genitive Haares or Haars, plural Haare, diminutive Härchen n)
- hair (a singular hair, not limited to the head)
- (collective) hair (the totality of hair on someone's head)
Usage notes
- When referring to a person's hair collectively, the singular may be used with no article, as is common in English: Sie hat graues Haar. – "She has grey hair." However in German, unlike English, it is more common to use the plural: Sie hat graue Haare. When referring to an individual hair, the indefinite article is used: Sie hat ein graues Haar. – "She has a (single) grey hair".
