Default Re: with dark hair, with the dark hair

Thank all of you very much. I'm clearer now. But in dictionaries, we seldom meet with "a girl with the dark hair", but "a girl with dark hair", "a young woman with short blonde hair" and "a woman with curly blonde hair", all without "the". I wonder if using "the" before "dark/curly/blonde hair" is a more pointed way of expressing the speaker's attention to the hair.
