My 3 year old is 42 1/2 inches tall....guess what...his HAIR is 1 1/2 inches of that!![]()
Unfortunately, the hair doesn't count.

Seriously though, CMs measure the height of your child, not their hair. And they can even have shoes removed before measuring if it look likes they are worn for the purpose of adding height.
If you have a ride your child is close to the right height for, go first thing in the day. We all shrink a little as the day goes on, going first thing gives you the best shot at making a ride. Also be sure your child knows to stand up straight. Their head has to hit the measuring stick, so make sure they are not shrinking away from it.
