dark-haired = dark + haired (transparent) = dark + hair + ed

Clear compounding of 'dark' and 'haired' (itself hair + -ed); a learner who knows 'dark' and 'hair' can readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

The word dark-haired comes from the common word dark, which means 'not light', and the part -haired, from hair, which means 'having hair'. So, dark-haired describes someone who has dark hair.
