I have long hair, and occasionaly take a head injury. It's a bloody mess, and I usually wind up with a shaved spot if it needs stitches. Can't wash the hair for a few days until the wound heals a bit, and I carry bloody hair until I can wash it.
All in all, it's a mess after an injury, and doesn't slow down or soften blunt or sharp impacts at all.

Where did you get the idea that you can’t wash a scalp injury?
Well, what I mean is if he had long hair, would his wounds have been more concealed by the long hair as opposed to visible on his shaved head, resulting in more claims of -oh we don’t see any wounds on his head.
But yeah, I think you’re right the areas that were wounded areas would have been shaved by medics in order to better access the area thus they would be visible.
I seriously can’t believe that we have news outlets as well as attorneys running around saying this video shows no wounds when it clearly does show wounds.
