I'm not so much necessarily interested in what is canon as in the ways that Tolkien used hair symbolically, not as individual or idiosyncratic adornment, but to tap into cultural or social or class or gender status.

And that brings us to whether the Harfoots have hairy feet. I can't recall. Disa of course as a non-canonical character does not have a beard.
