Why is it masculine?
Pelo is masculine because it derives from Latin "pilus" (hair), which was a masculine noun in Latin, and Spanish retained this gender classification through regular sound changes ("pilus" > "pelo"). This is a regular inheritance rather than an exception, as Spanish nouns generally preserved the grammatical gender of their Latin etymons.
