No: its a physical change

Added correction:

It is chemical because you can not simply revert it (newly grown hair) back to its original compounds like keratine.

Hair (newly grown) is a product of many (bio)chemical synthesis reactions.

It is much the same as growing grass or trees or even animals and humans.
