You could say it without a possessive if you change the subject of the sentence. " In one case the subject is "she" in the other the subject is "hair".

This is a problem for me too. Can the possessive really be left out?
She has hair as long as her sister's
She has hair as long as her sister.
Her hair is as long as her sister's.
Her hair is as long as her sister.
I think this problem has a lot to do with another problem I have always had (but I have never asked about).
