It is recommended to bury whatever separates from a human being, such as hair and nails. Indeed, Ibn Omar (may Allah be pleased with him) did this, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded their burial, saying: "So that the sorcerers among the Children of Adam do not play with them." Accordingly, there is no harm in placing hair in a designated basket for burial; otherwise, it is preferable to bury it directly.
