Peacemaker- you are incorrect in that he is not allowed to see her hair at all. If we were to hold that it should be covered (which is generally the psak, but as others have pointed out, heteirim exist), then at worst, he has a problem with saying a bracha in front of her, a problem which could be easily remedied by one of them leaving the room if he has to make a bracha. There are lots of Jewish married women walking around with uncovered hair; if simply seeing it was assur, no one would ever be allowed outside. The issur is in saying a bracha in front of a bare-headed married woman, and even then, not everyone agrees that it’s a problem.
