Hair

Among the species that possess hair are humans, Weequays, and numerous others. The dense hair covering some creatures is also known as fur. Examples of such species include the Wookiees originating from Kashyyyk and the Talz hailing from Orto Plutonia. Hair exhibits a wide spectrum of colors, lengths, and thicknesses. As seen in the case of the human Obi-Wan Kenobi, hair can lose its color as individuals age. In humans, graying hair is a readily noticeable indicator of getting older. Premature graying can also indicate stress, and it was a frequent sight among members of the Resistance.

Hair can be styled in a multitude of ways, whether for practical reasons or for aesthetic expression. The human weapon specialist Sabine Wren would often keep her hair short to prevent it from becoming sweaty while wearing her Mandalorian helmet. In addition, she would use dye to give her hair various artificial colors. Apart from conventional dyes, like the purple extract from the carnivorous Morogian snap plant, there was also a Mon Cal microplankton that could bind to individual hair strands, creating a bioluminescent glow. The queens of Naboo were known for their elaborate and ornate hairstyles. Hair gel was a product used to manage and control unruly hairs.

A thermal blower served the purpose of drying hair. Trends sometimes influenced hairstyles. Many women at the Resistance base located on Ajan Kloss were inspired by Princess Leia's Alderaanian hairstyle, wrapping their hair around their heads to resemble a crown. However, Rey had the impression that Leia was unaware she had started a trend.

Following the events of the Duel on Cloud City, Darth Vader became fixated on finding his son, Luke Skywalker. Instead of his son, he encountered impostors who had grown their hair out to resemble Skywalker's and even acquired an astromech droid companion in order to easily make money.

Military organizations typically established guidelines for the hairstyles of their officers. For instance, closely cropped hair was mandatory in the Galactic Republic's military. In the Galactic Empire, officers often kept their hair short for efficiency, but they could have longer hair if they kept it pinned back in tight braids.

The First Order also had regulations concerning hair length. General Armitage Hux secretly disapproved of Kylo Ren's hairstyle, as it did not adhere to the First Order's standards. Believing that an effective leader should lead by example, Hux considered Ren's long hair an "indignant assault" on his position as Supreme Leader. Hux's disapproval grew to the point where it symbolized everything he disliked about Ren, whom he viewed as lacking discipline and military decorum. Hux vowed that if he were to succeed Ren as Supreme Leader, his initial action would be to force his predecessor to "cut off his hair."

The Nightsisters of Dathomir had the ability to place a curse on an individual by creating a waxen likeness of that person. A lock of the intended victim's hair was needed to create the effigy.

Female porgs would construct nests using materials such as hair, fiber, or grass.

Range trooper armor included large pads of white fur on the shoulders and lining the inside of the kama to provide warmth for the troopers in harsh, cold environments on planets such as Vandor.
