I have a question. What does "a strand of ... hair" mean in the passage below? "Barbara pushed back a strand of wispy salt-and-pepper hair, pausing before she spoke. “I learned early on to let go of the need to be right. It changed my marriage.” I looked up the phrase and the dictionary said "a hair". What? She pushed back a hair? Only one hair? Strange! If she had only one hair on her head, she might be able to do it. (2)

@u-1 "a strand of hair" refers to a small section or piece of hair. It's not necessarily one single hair, but rather a small portion of hair that's long enough to be noticeable or to be pushed back. So, Barbara pushed back a small section of her wispy salt-and-pepper hair before she spoke. It's a common expression to describe a gesture of tidying or adjusting one's hair.

It changed my marriage.” I looked up the phrase and the dictionary said "a hair". What? She pushed back a hair? Only one hair? Strange! If she had only one hair on her head, she might be able to do it. (4)

@Keiji4004 Ahh it makes sense. It means "a small portion of hair". I wonder why the online dictionary failed to mention it. Anyway, thank you for your help. Arigato🙏.
