Esperanto counts hairs where English does not. is one single hair, so the stuff on your head is in the plural, and saying claims you have exactly one and it is impressive. If you want the mass noun, o uses the collective suffix -- and means a head of hair taken as one thing. The rest is predictable: senhara is bald, harplena hairy, and the same -- gives from in exactly the same way.
