Rewrite only the ROOT from a specific subfolder not any directory under the subfolder

I want to rewrite only the ROOT of my subfolder, which means: If I go to: localhost/a/b/ then this should be redirected to localhost/a/ but localhost/a/b/c/ should stay the same. So that only a request to the subfolder b directly will be rewritten and nothing under the directory b, like c.

I already tried a few things like this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^b$
RewriteRule ^$ /a [L,R=301]

or

RewriteRule ^/$ /a

or 

RewriteRule ^/a/b/$ /a

I can't seem to find the correct solution.

You can use this rule in site root .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^a/b/?$ /a [L,NC]

This is assuming there is no other .htaccess in your system and this is first rule.

If you want to do this in a/.htaccess then:

RewriteRule ^b/?$ /a [L,NC]

If you want to do this in a/b/.htaccess then:

RewriteRule ^/?$ /a [L]
