It also sounds somewhat ambiguous - it could mean what it does right now (strand of hair in front of face), but it also sounds like it could be a sub-tag of severed hair (a severed strand of hair as an object in the image).
It's supposed to be for when there's a single strand of hair noticeably out of place, for example post #3517170 or post #4689181. Unfortunately it's another tag that's been ruined by autists.
This tag never had a chance. It's all random ahoges, hair between eyes and completely random posts. The first addition of this tag seems to be post #810483, so it was doomed from the start.

That post does feature a single strand of hair in front of her face though. I always understood this tag to be for when a single hair is rendered on it's own as opposed to spikes or clumps of hair. I don't see how that's any less taggable a concept than say ahoge or antenna_hair.
Do you not see how that would apply to nearly every single post on site? I looked at the first 100 posts on the front page and all of them that weren't no humans had at some individual hair strand in one way or another. Even something like post #5483270 which is hair as straight as it gets has visible hair strands in the bangs that could technically qualify for this tag.
It's not as common as that, the more typical case is for small wedges of hair to stick out instead of single lines. It's not uncommon, but looks distinctively different. See e.g.: post #5483027, post #5483255, post #5483181, post #5483145, post #5483031, post #5483234 as very recent counter-examples. They feature wedge shaped wedges as do basically all anime art, but none of these feature distinct single strands of hair.
Then please open the front page, set the thumbnail size to absurd and find me ten post in the last 200 that don't qualify for hair strand, because I can't find any. All of your examples have individual hair strands. post #5483027 has this, post #5483031 has this and so on.

whenever i tag something with hair_strand i do it when there's a very thin solid color line of hair sticking out like post #5461007 but i do agree its a pretty pointless tag idk why it was started
recent post that is a perfect example post #5543371

My understanding is that this is what the tag was intended for (single strands of hair), rather than the spikes or wedges you are calling out. It's a taggable concept that isn't possible to search for otherwise. I agree that the tag is a mess, but the wiki could be clarified and the tag could be cleaned rather than nuked. (though admittedly individual strands are hard to see from thumbnails so it'd be tougher to clean than most tags)
Oh, also to clarify my examples, I meant that they were cases that should *not* qualify for hair_strand.
For examples that would IMHO qualify include e.g. post #5490637, post #5425512, post #5363623. Basically going with ForeskinThief and Evazion's examples.
