Well, thinking about it, the only two options that make logical sense are either short hair or shaved/bald. (Which is a plus for me if it's the former, I think Tali would be very well suited by a cute short hair style.)
As for the notion that they're all icky in their suits from sweat and what not, I think it's very safe to assume that said suits, being enviro-suits as they are, are quite capable of maintaining a comfortable body temperature. You could even take that concept a step or two farther, considering the level of technology we're dealing with here, and surmise that their suits are not only environmentally sealed and regulated, but also serve as a sort of "personal" maintenance tool, keeping their physical futures, relatively, unravaged.
On the subject of their immune system; It's stated, by Tali, that the Quarian immune system was somewhat lacking to begin with and almost entirely dependent on their environment.
I picture a pale or, at the very least, light-skinned race, with glowing eyes of course, and hair (what little they may or may not have) to match their flesh tone.
No matter what, I'm quite sure, Tali will be attractive. The personality alone is worth a tentacle or two probing your gums during a make-out session.
do quarians have hair?

Noooooo.
I doubt Liara's an ardat yakshi, for the brain consuming imagery.
but hey! traditional quarian dinner! human brains!

I think the Quarians used to have hair, but they lost it in the last few hundred years or so because they're always in their suits.
Usually evolution wouldn't work that fast and get rid of quarian hair in just 300 years just because of their suits. We humans still have our wisdom teeth and appendix and although both cause more harm than doing any good we are stuck with them for a long time.
But then again the quarian immune system also shouldn't have gone almost completly absent in just 300 years. So I guess my argument is invalid and "quarians are different" like Tali says
Quarians never had a strong immune system. Tali said that on their home planet, a lot of good virusses and good bacteria are presence. Some plants and animal species on their home planet are able to reproduce by "lifting" on other animals.
For example, a specific plant produces a virus with their reproduction cells inside of it. A Quarian will get the virus, but won't be harmed. Then the virus with the reproduction cells spreads and so the plant can reproduce.
I don't know where exactly Tali said this, but I'm pretty sure she talked about this somewhere.
PS: I'm pretty damn sure that if you would live your entire life in a suit, you wouldn't grow (much) hair. It doesn't have much to do with evolution, but the fact that the suit will hinder your body from growing (much) hair.

I too hope Tali has hair. Even short hair will be ok. But there were some really good points made about her not haveing any. But then again she has to take off her suit sometime. How does she eat or relieve or even clean herself in that thing? Has this ever been explained?
Either way im sure Bioware will make her attractive looking if they ever show her face. I also think its stange that only Humans have hair. No matter what they do with Tali, she is still
the greates character in this game.

I don't think they have hair but they aren't bald. I picture them having tentacle things kinda like what the Asari have on their head. But they aren't bald.
When?

It was presented in ME1 as a commonly held misconception. Apparently, that's still the case!

And how exactly would a suit hinder growing hair? We are talking about hair and not some kind of plan that needs sunshine, fresh air and regular nutrition to flourish.
Most humans wear underpants for 99% of their time and it doesn't really do anything to stop our pubic hair from growing
I still think either they never had hair to begin with or are still having it. Losing their hair because of their suits doens't make much sense to me.

The codex says that it is a common misconception if I'm not mistaken, tisiphne probably recalled it incorrectly?blank1 wrote...

In me2 if you look at the back of tali's neck there appears to be something inside her hood that looks like its sloping down. To me it seems like good evidence towards hair for quarians because if it was just some more part of the hood it would be more flat.

Other Quarians dont seem to have this which would lead me to believe that tali just wanted to keep her hair long.
(could'nt blame her)

It's an in-game rumor, considering they built the geth and know a lot about AI, VI, and mechanics. Couple this with the fact that nobody knows what they look like, the other races made up rumors that they are cyborgs. It's mentioned briefly in the Codex.
