Just thinking…
Wouldn’t Master Chief have long hair and a long beard after a 4 year long Cryo coma?
You are frozen, so it would kind of like time stood still.
Hair follicles require blood circulation because cells require oxygen and nutrients ect,and considering that his blood will be frozen, hair will not grow, and I imagine that cell production is also stopped.

Cryo sleep freezes a person, almost completely slowing down aging and all that cell stuff. It basically preserves a person as they are. So no, I don’t think he would have grown any hair or changed in any way since he got in there at the end of Halo 3.
Can’t; frozen, but–it’s probably been a while since chief has shower and shaved so I think it’s reasonable he could have beard going as of the events of Halo 4. I never want to chief’s face, but I have this fantasy that at the end of Halo 6 chief dies and someone removes his helmet and theres and older gentleman with long grey beard and hair. I just think it would be cool to see how much his endless fighting for hummanity and other sentient life in the galaxy has aged him.

He’s meant to be early 40’s at best, and considering the amount of Cryo sleep he has undergone(which significantly reduces the effects of ageing) his ageing will not be all that predominant.

That works for “older gentleman.” But I’m talking about the toll that kind of stress takes on a persons body. Look at pictures of presidents just before being elected and then look them up toward the end of their terms. That’s without all the running, jumping, getting shot at, falling to earth from orbit, etc…

Cyro sleep literally freezes a person body,it stops all cell reproduction and all systems, simply he is the exact same as he went in as he will come out 4 years latter. Nothing will happen as he has been frozen 
Good thing he doesn’t barf like Lasky. Still though 4 years and you have to start running right away, crud I need to stretch when I go piss at work after a few hours.
Who says he doesn’t already?
DUN DUN DUN
No, but really, the hair follicles would stop growing.
Doesnt the augmentation process stop his hair from growing?

Spartan’s hair was unaffected by augmentation.
When you freeze a cell through whatever means, the intracellular water molecules freeze, causing expansion of the cell, which therein causes the cell membrane to rupture - effectively causing cell death.
Master Chief shouldn’t have long hair, Master Chief should be dead.
I was in Cryo sleep for 2 1/2 years and when I got out I had to trim for hours. Manscape…I was like a bear. a fuzzy bear…

And this is why we have 500 years of technology doubling in growth every generation to nail down cryogenic practices. I’ll believe that cryogenic revival is somehow possible, eventually… if only for the sake that we’ve proved you can break the speed of light where it was up until recently thought utterly impossible.

The final point is not totally correct. Albert Einstein still has the last laugh…
