I thought at first that if someone were to cut Yang's hair, it means her Semblance would just be completely gone, Semblance comes from Aura (based on Pyrrha's comment to Jaune: "We still have to work on Aura. I'm sure we'll discover your Semblance any day now."), and Yang seems to also be able to emit flames from other parts of her body (hands, feet), so she'd still be able to use her Semblance if she didn't have any hair (let's be honest, Yang without any hair would be a very depressing sight), but perhaps the length of her hair helps increase the amount of flames she can emit because the longer her hair, the farther out the flames can go? I don't know.

I still feel like there's another reason besides her Semblance that her hair is so "important".
