How long can herpes live on hair? my hair is very long and i worry sometimes if it touches my clothes, especially trousers, it will spread to my face because i have hsv type 1 on my genital area?

If you already have genital HSV-1 you should not worry about self transmission because the virus has been present in your body but it may not ever cause lesions on your face such as herpes labialis or ocular herpes simplex.
