Yes. The only illegal tackles are the horse-collar (grabbing the jersey collar from the back), grabbing the facemask, or leading with the helmet (e.g., spearing or helmet-to-helmet contact). The NFL also disallows tackling by tripping, but this is rarely called.
If a player wants to have a bunch of hair flying around outside his helmet, he does so at his own peril. It would be an unfair advantage if the defender was forced to carefully avoid the hair when trying to make a tackle.

Is a player considered down if he catches a pass falls gets up and keeps going?
In college football, once a player's knee touches the ground the play is whistled dead regardless of whether a defensive player made contact with the ball carrier. In the NFL, a defensive player must make contact with the ball carrier to have the play whistled dead. So to answer your question, in college the player is down and the play is over. In the NFL, the player is not down and the play continues.
