Remember that hair is uncountable, so takes the singular form:

She has beautiful hair.
When we use hair in a countable form it is referri g to strands of hair.
Waiter there is a hair in my soup!
Compare:
He was a distinguished man with thick grey hair.
Despite a few wrinkles and grey hairs he didn't look much older from when I last saw him.
