I have two schools of thought on this - first, since hair is a living tissue and vampires are dead then it will not grown back. However, there is also the thought that since life stops and they are undead, there can be no change from the moment they died and mystical forces will prevent any growth or decay (hence the not aging).
Now see, that makes sense. But there is also the Eternal Cool factor. If you are a vampire, you aren't allowed to be anything but amazingly Cool, or just f'in creepy. So, lets say you get bit right after having gone to the salon, and the lady was drunk and shaved off half your hair and made the rest look like Ed Grimley on a bad day, somehow your hair has to look cool anyway, because you're a vampire. So, does your hair grow? Or does the society around you change the meaning of 'cool" in order that the laws of physics continue to apply? Or do you immedieatly lose all of your hair, grow 7 inch fingernails, lose 4 inches off your left leg, and answer to the name Nosferatu?
I see your conundrum (connundrum?) but I think you are using fuzzy logic. Vampire does not necessarily equal cool. For reference, please watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 4, episode 1, College Hard.
Don't tell that to the Vampire LARPers. They are convinced that being a vampire automatically makes them too cool for words. And thank God for that, because otherwise, they'd just be LARPers.
It was the episode where Buffy first went to Sunnydale U. The main vampire, Sunday, beat the crap out of her and she was feeling all down. Anyway, Sunday's gang was a bunch of college hippie losers and they were hilarious.
anyway, desperate for sex or desperate for blood, either way you are just desperate.
I didn't start watching Buffy until Season 5- After the show was already off the air and playing 5 nights a week on Fox. So many of the classics I've missed. Nonetheless, a good show, and for the most part proof that Vampire is Cool, especially if your name is James Marsters.

But first you have to find a vampire hairdresser.
The barber pole out front might be a clue.
