The correct pairing for the cells involved in hair production is:
rough endoplasmic reticulum . . . smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Cells producing hair contain a lot of rough endoplasmic reticulum, which is involved in protein synthesis, including the proteins that make up hair. Cells producing oils that coat the hair contain a lot of smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which is involved in lipid synthesis, including the production of oils (sebum) for hair coating.
