Explanation
"Hair" is an uncountable noun when referring to the hair on one's head, so it should be treated as a singular noun ("Your hair is..."). However, when referring to individual strands of hair, "hairs" becomes a countable noun ("two blonde hairs"). "Your" is the correct possessive adjective to use.
