Looks 1/40 crore. Let the first person grow any number say n of hair. Second person can be anybody growing any number from 1 to 40 crore. The probability of n appearing in 40 crore is 1/40 crore.

This will be the probability of 2 people having a specific number of hair. I am just asking the probability of 2 people having any number of hair in  common. This is a simple calculation if you think about how many slots you can fit the 730 crore people into.
