I was at a hair transplant meeting last week and heard an amazing discussion of cloning that reflects we are closer than I thought to achieving hair cloning. The above link suggests that a drug might regenerate a tooth, certainly on the complexity of a hair follicle.  I see a bright future for hair cloning, although getting it through the FDA might take 5+ years once it is achieved.  Be patient.
