hair

cabello — hair

💇 From Latin capillus (hair) — same root as English capillary, a hair-thin vessel

Cabello is head hair specifically; pelo covers any hair or fur. Latin capillus also gave English capillary and French cheveu. Sound hook: ca-BEH-yo starts like cab and cap, and a cap sits right on your cabello.
