I presume you mean, from the outside IN - as it is obvious from the hair all over our bodies that hairs can penetrate the skin from the inside OUT.

That being said, what possible scenario (dare I ask) could you be envisioning? Let's say a hair DID penetrate the skin from the outside in. Do you think this would even be perceptable, nevermind bothersome?

Could you possibly go back to your question and expand? Is this for a science-type thing?

The only other source for an answer on this kind of thing that I can think of is Mythbusters. They have several websites, but the following one has a forum where you can post questions:
