Do not think your piece is hair?

 

It may be thread or yarn of some kind. Maybe linen thread, maybe cotton.

If it is embroidery,  It may be a form of embroidery known as filet guipure or net darning. 

 

    The final analysis of your thread is this:

    Take a straight pin and lift up some of the yarn and remove it.

     Place it in a Pyrex dish or on heavy aluminum foil.

     Burn it with a lighted match.

     Cotton - burns completely - no ash

     Linen - Fibers blacken and stay black.

     Silk - fuses into a black ball

     Rayon - part disappears, part stays black - no fused ball.

     Wool and hair - burn with a sputter. Have odor of burning hair. Fuses black like silk does
