Wat kind of camera is it? Regardless, unless you see the hair in photos, it is not really a problem.

Hair in camera lens

It's a Canon G-10.PowerShot. It looks like a hair or fiber in the lower lens. I don't think it shows up in pics - it's my granddaughter's camera

Again, if it doesn't show up in photos, I would not worry about it. The G10 is a compact camera with a built-in, non-removable lens. You might be able to blow air around the perimeter of the lens where it extends from the body. But by doing so, you might blow more items onto the lens. Otherwise, you could send the camera to Canon and have it cleaned, but my guess is that would be very expensive, on the order of $100 or more.
