Tell me how to describe someone's hair
I know the color: gray, blond, white, red, black.
What about the length? the appearance? curl or no curl?
How to make a sentence? e.g. He got/has black long curl hair. Is it right?

Wow, this is one broad topic...First of all, as regards the order of adjectives in a phrase...First you start with the length:
long/shoulder-length
semi-long/of medium length
short/cropped (meaning really short, like soldiers have)
bald
receding hairline (growing bald, especially around temples)
Then you mention the colour:
black/ jet-black
brown/ chestnut/ auburn (reddish-brown)
red/ ginger/ fiery red
grey/ grizzled (partly grey)
blond (for males) blonde (females)/ mousy (greyish-blonde)
Then you describe the texture/ quality
straight
wavy
curly
You can describe someone's hair by mentioning their hairstyle:
plaits/braids (like little girls have)
dreadlocks (Rastafarians)
bun (like Mary Poppins)
ponytail
pigtails
Someone can have neat, orderly hair, or tousled/messy/ dishevelled (like when you just get out of bed)

for exampel : "he`s got long black curly hair."
first you start by decribing the length of the hair: is it`short or long.? then you decribe the color? like you decribed bur you dont say curl hari, you say curly hair :)

About the colors, there is one more: brown :) you can also say that hair is dark:)
Lenght: long, semi-long or short
Appearance: straight, wavy, curly
The correct sentence is e.g. He / She has long, curly, dark hair.
