599. It was narrated from 'Ali bin Abu Tālib that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever leaves an area the size of a hair on his body and does not cleanse it from sexual impurity, such and such will be done to him in the Fire." 'Ali said: "Because of that I am hostile towards my hair," and he used to shave his head. (Hasan)
599 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ زَاذَانَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ تَرَكَ مَوْضِعَ شَعَرَةٍ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ لَمْ يَغْسِلْهَا، فُعِلَ بِهِ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنَ النَّارِ» قَالَ: عَلِيٌّ، فَمِنْ ثَمَّ عَادَيْتُ شَعَرِي، وَكَانَ يَجُزُّهُ

Keeping hair on the head is doubtless a desirable act, provided that the hair is full-grown and straight — as proved from the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ — and not of the European style. Nevertheless, shaving it off is also perfectly in order.
