So far I found countless examples...im not sure which is which.

Cut hair
kami o rihatsu suru (理髪)
kami o sanpatsu suru (散髪)
kami o chouhatsu suru (調髪)
kami o kiru (切る)
kami o teihatsu suru (剃髪)

not sure what one is most used though....or even if all these are correct.

brush hair
kami o toku (梳く)
kami o tokasu (梳かす)

Dye hair
kami o senpatsuzai suru (染髪剤)
kami o shiragazome suru (白髪染め)

Wash hair
kami o shanpuu suru (シャンプー)


Wavy hair = namiutsukami (波打つ髪)
Curly hair = makigami (巻き髪)
Straight hair = ginpatsu (銀髪)

I have no idea if any of these are correct.....

This is from my experience

Cut hair=髪を切る (かみをきる)
Dye hair=そめる
Wash hair= 髪/頭を洗う (Or シャンプーする)

Curly hair= もじゃもじゃ (not sure how polite that is though), くるくる)
Straight hair=ストレート

By the way, 赤毛 is usually said あかげ

I'm pretty sure "to dye hair" is 髪を染める (kami o someru). I'm guessing you could say things like:
明日、髪を黒くに染めるつもりだ。- Tomorrow, I plan on dying my hair black.

Stumped as to what "to brush hair" is... I couldn't find an example anywhere. I would bet on 梳く / 梳かす.
