Cabelo (hair) is masculine because it derives from Latin "capillus," which was also masculine, and Portuguese inherited this grammatical gender along with the word during its evolution from Vulgar Latin. The word retained the masculine gender that was intrinsic to its Latin ancestor despite sound changes that transformed "capillus" into the modern Portuguese form.
