Don't worry, the hair bites the dust eventually. They're trying to keep Daniel separate from the military guys, although later in the show they kind of stop trying. But in the beginning, they have a hard time (I think) differentiating between the military guys and we already have the established character profile from the movie, so... the hair stays, at least for now.
Later, Michael Shanks was cast in a production of Hamlet (as Hamlet) and he had to cut off all the hair so they work it into the plot of an episode- one that is really, REALLY good, I might add- and the locks are gone. ;)
Wait until the end of season 1/beginning of season. There are a few moments of such blatant jack/Daniel shipping that you can't miss it. If you haven't gotten there by that point. Seriously. Two words, no spoilers: Space Monkey.
