To me it sounds like you still are self-conscious. If you were actually comfortable with the way you are then it wouldn't bother you so much that your father jokes with you about, especially if it as rare as you say it is. If it was a daily thing then it would be different, but him doing "once or twice a year" shouldn't be a big deal.
Yeah, i wondered that too. Though, I once joked about his clothing choices during a shopping trip and by the end of the day he was yelling and crying. He let me know he was very sensitive about his looks (which is interesting bc he is a very attractive man). However, I guess it agitates me that I have to be sensitive of my dads feelings and he not to me. Like, me the “child” has to be the bigger person when the parent is not. Also, I would think someone who is soooo sensitive about their looks wouldn’t dare joke like that with me. I understand we’re family and he feels comfortable but idk i wonder if I’m digging too deep.
Should I tell my dad to stop joking about my hairiness?

He yelled and cried when you teased him about his clothing? Maybe he's just getting revenge in a very immature way?
It doesn't sound like a big issue if it only happens a couple of times a year.
