I wonder what hair fashion is going to be ‘in fashion’ in ten thousand years?
Ten thousand years is not a long time genetically, unless a species begins to control its own genetics.
I’ll go out on a limb and predict that by that time hair will be a thing of the past. What will replace it?
Subcutaneous LED patterns, under conscious control. Forget mood rings, you’ll be able to tell at a glance what’s on someone’s mind.
Eventually, it may even form a new language system, with the possibility of high-speed thought transference.

I dunno. As soon as we begin to "control" (tailor) our own genetics, and it looks like we'll be able to start doing so well within my expected lifetime, all bets are off and hair may be a thing of the past. Or not, depending upon the environments we're trying to adapt-to/conquer. Plenty of cases of both in 1970s SF stories...

If you can fix hair, Bob, you’ll rule the universe!
