"Keep your hair on" could refer to the Old West, when Indians might scalp you if you were not watchful. I've never heard it said as "keep your hair on" though.
I suppose the idiom 'keep your hair on' means that if when a person is stressed the likelyhood that you could lose your hair or even pull it out hence keep it on and keep yourself calm
This may be a mixed idiom - more common is "keep your hat on" which is also means keep calm and don't "blow your top".
"Keep your hair on" is advice telling someone to keep calm and not to over-react or get angry.
