Wikipedia says that the tensile strength of spider web is 1.3Gpa..

while most steels are less than this.

the tensile strength of human hair varies depending on what radiation its been exposed to, the colour it is, whether its been dyed, how much it has been shampooed/conditioned. all these factors and more effects the tensile strength of hair.

so the question is does the strand of hair your refering to have a tensile strength of greater than 1.3Gpa?

but generally it would be safe to say that spider silk is stronger than hair at the same thickness.
