I got a haircut last week.
well anyways, I thought hair was "pelo"? I must be mistaken, but I remember that hair as we learned it was "pelo" |

Both pelo and cabello are words for hair.

Pelo and cabello can and are used interchangeably to mean "hair" in general. However, "pelo" technically refers to one individual hair, while "cabello" refers to all the hairs on your head.

Hmmmmmm I've heard "pelo" and "cabello" used for all the hair on your head. I think you can use "un pelo" and "un cabello"......for individual ones. BUT.............. I've also heard the following...... Pelo - although it means hair, should be used when referring to the hair of an animal, (not fur but hair) i.e el pelo del perro, el pelo de gato, etc. Cabello - for human hair.

we can use three words : cabello, pelo and bello. each one has a meaning.
^_ ^ the last post has the answer and talking about bello we have bello in the arms. leg. in the body. |

The correct spelling of the third word for hair is vello.

Yes, Lee ying is right, we mostly the three chose on our country, but the word use for hair is more exclusive and sound better as Cabello.

Yes, you are right, the word hair at Spanish is translated as Cabello, and the same word hair is translated Pelo, but anyhow this word is simplified for the use of the word Pelo for the animals.
