Conclusion of Sugya: חציצה
The Rambam (רמב”ם ה’ מקוואות פרק ב’ הלכה ט”ו) brings a machlokes in regards to Hilchos Chatzitzah of how we evaluate the majority of the hair independent of the body
The גאונים – a chatzitzah on majority of the hair will invalidate the Tevilah
The רמב”ם – calculate the majority of the hair and body collectively
https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=58964&st=&pgnum=214

The ח’ הגרי”ז on this רמב”ם explains the torah views the body and the hair as two separate entities
The גאונים – Drasha that chatzitzah applies to hair requires the hair to be immersed in the water without a chatzitzah but it still remains an independent entity than the body
The רמב”ם – Drasha teaches in regards to chatzitzah we view the hair and the body as one unit.

Major Question:
According to the גאונים if the hair is considered an independent entity from the body what is the connection between one strand of hair to the next that we should evaluate all the hair as one unit?
