@u-1 "a strand of hair" refers to a small section or piece of hair. It's not necessarily one single hair, but rather a small portion of hair that's long enough to be noticeable or to be pushed back. So, Barbara pushed back a small section of her wispy salt-and-pepper hair before she spoke. It's a common expression to describe a gesture of tidying or adjusting one's hair.

@Keiji4004 Ahh it makes sense. It means "a small portion of hair". I wonder why the online dictionary failed to mention it. Anyway, thank you for your help. Arigato🙏.
