Well, "hairs" are quantized phenomenon...

So at some finite time, it will be all gone. At least if the thing is happening fast enough for it not to grow back at a similar time-frame.

Kinda. At the last strand I expect them to switch to length.

But yeah, at some point should be good enough

But hair is still made up of discrete quantity of "stuff"

Well, eventually you get to a point where hairs grow quickly enough that the haircuts effectively stop. I think the sum total of hair material you trend towards at the limit would be the sum of length of hair that grows during the time it takes to do a haircut. Whether it's 1x or 2x of the hair growth amount depends on whether you measure at the start, or end, of the haircut

It's already about length.
