English term or phrase: hair
Hi.

I simply mean the hair on the human head in its totality.

Please give a guide to the pronunciation. I know Russian, so feel free to refer to that language.

Best wishes

Explanation:
It is very difficult to give you the guide to the pronunciation of this word, because there is a word meaning "water" with very close pronunciation.
But you may pronounce it like shorter "oo" in "book" followed by "s" in "bus".

neutral  unur: Agree with translation but not with pronunciation. The pronunciation is closer to 'ou' in soup. They also say that it is closer to 'ü' as in German but I think the German one sounds quite different. Please refer to my reference sent to you separately.
