Actually my understanding was that he was afraid that the constant shaving of his head would permanently affect his hair. Plus the half-hearted ending was to do with the writer's strike. Most series only got half a season written before the strike. SV was nearly complete with episodes so they are only short by 2 or 3 that season.
Yeah, I thought the strike had affected Season 7. But it seemed to me that Lex could have been written into Season 8, and I just remembered hearing on one of the commentaries about Rosenbaum getting tired of playing Lex -- or at least wanting out of the series. Interesting about him worrying about his hair, though. At least John Shea didn't have to worry about that.
