Yes. Tattoos do disappear. I often forget that. Vampire hair is a different thing entirely. That's because it actually remains 'human' hair, just like their fingernails. Meyer says that hair and nails are already dead cells, so the vampire transformation doesn't affect them. Hair and nails neither grow nor change. So, if you had dyed your hair a particular color, then transform to vampire, your hair would stay that same color. Unless you decided to dye or bleach it. But Meyer says vampires have to take excessive steps to maintain their hair. Vampires can't change the color of their hair to often or they'll ruin it. Many nomads have frizzy uncared for hair because, being nomads, they don't have the chance to baby their hair. If you recall from Twilight, Victoria had long frizzy hair, that was full of leaves. The guys had short cropped hair. Once a vampires hair is ruined... say split ends... dried out... or a bad cut... there is NO going back. The vampire is stuck with it. So vampires have to wash and take very good care of their hair. Meyer says that the Cullen's take VERY good care of their hair. She also said that Rosalie spends much of her time taking care of her hair, conditioning it and giving it protein packs. If you go back to Twilight... Laurent is surprised by the well-kept appearance of the Cullens. They wore expensive designer clothes, shoes... and their hair was very well kept.
