I cannot find any reliable scientific evidence or medical literature supporting the claim that Strongyloides stercoralis (the parasite that causes strongyloidiasis) can be found in human hair. Strongyloidiasis is a parasitic infection of the intestines, and its life cycle does not involve the hair. The parasite primarily infects through the skin, usually via penetration of the feet.

While parasites can sometimes be found in unusual locations due to rare circumstances or medical conditions, there's no established connection between Strongyloides and human hair. Any claims suggesting otherwise should be viewed with extreme skepticism and should not replace consultation with a medical professional for diagnosis and treatment of parasitic infections. If you suspect you have a parasitic infection, seek medical attention immediately. They can perform appropriate diagnostic tests to determine the cause and recommend the correct treatment.
