Hair is not about attraction, it's that an uncovered head (for men as well, men wear a kippah) is considered uncouth, and it's a way to disrespect someone. Think about hat wearing in the US 100 years ago - no one respectful would be caught outdoors without a hat.
There is no rule about mixed fibers. Instead there is a rule about combining wool + linen, and the reason is simple enough: It was reserved for ceremonial use, and not permitted for mundane use.

Milk and meat are separated because it's considered "rude" (wish I had a better word, maybe "boorish") to put the meat of a dead animal in the same liquid that it makes to feed its young. It's also not permitted to kill a parent animal and its child in the same day, for the same reason.
