Difference between Head and Hair in Korean?
I was looking up vocab for body parts, and was a little confused. In one source, it said that the word for 'head' and 'hair' was the same ('머리'), but in a different source, it differentiated the two ('head' = 머리; 'hair' = 머리카락). Is 머리 used for both, or is it correct to distinguish the two?
감사합니다!

You're right. Head is 머리 and hair is 머리카락. But korean people call borh head and hair '머리'. haha so you should understand what '머리' means in the context people talk about. :)
ex) 1.내 머리가 너무 길어, 머리 좀 잘라야 겠어. (My hair is too long, I need to cut my hair some.)
2. 그 생선을 요리하기 전에, 생선 머리를 자르세요. (Before cooking the fish, cut the head of the fish.)
3. 머리가 아파요. (I have a headache) 4. 내 머리가 엉켰어요. (My hair got tangled.)
