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.

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.

 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.

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.

All points taken. Pelo can refer to an individual hair, or it can also be used as a synonym for cabello. I've also heard pelo used to refer to animal hair.
