I've heard various versions of the "hair is antennas" idea before. I have no idea what makes people believe stuff like that, though. One guy I talked to actually thinks long hair gives you psychic powers. He's growing his hair long right now, and will no doubt be disappointed in a few years when he still can't win the lottery.
Still, if long hair really did enhance the senses, I'd find some way to grow my pubes crazy long. Pube length would probably have an inverse effect on the likelihood of those enhanced senses being relevant, though. I'd guess Chewbacca only gets play from other wookies (and Han, of course).
