He is tidy, nice and has long hair . After looking at it closely, I notice that you have used a comma after 'tidy'. The sentence is correctly punctuated.

No. 'Hair' in reference to all that grows on top of your head is an uncountable noun.

'He has a long hair' sounds like there is a single long hair, eg perhaps growing on the end of his nose.
