So to your original post and the confusion about Mr. Z's head, Zartan wears a hood. The comic has a hood, and so have all toy versions, except for the one with the bad, orange Mohawk, which is obviously hair.
The cartoon, on the other hand, while more-than-likely it was supposed to be a hood, the Sunbow animators either mistook it for hair or thought it would look better as hair and animated it
as
hair, so that the people who knew it was a hood and owned the toy or read the comic thought that it was a hood, even though there were obviously way-too-many-to-count-otherwise animation occurrences of the brown matter on his head behaving like hair—complete with visible, flowing, separate strands of hair and Zartan frequently wearing a hood or mask on top of his
natural brown hair
(which would logically be redundant to wear a hood underneath another hood or mask/wig).
For those of us who never owned a Zartan figure as a kid or saw the various comic panels where it was obviously a hood, we saw the cartoon and
knew
because we're not idiots
that it
was
hair, because it looked like hair, flowed like hair, and animated like hair, and not like a hood, which is how Cobra Commander's hood was animated, and Zartan's
hair
behaved more like the Baroness' hair than CC's hood.
