Saying that black holes have "no hair" means that they lack any detailed or distinguishing features. It is a metaphorical way of saying that all black holes, regardless of their initial conditions, will eventually settle into a state characterized by only three properties: mass, charge, and angular momentum. All other information about the matter that formed the black hole is lost.

The no-hair theorem of black holes essentially states that a black hole has only three observable properties; mass, electrical charge, and angular momentum. All other characteristics of matter that falls into a black hole is lost forever inside the event horizon.
