As a Mac user you will have to download update manually from Gumroad account. Note: It seems auto-updater does not work on Mac OS. You should have received download link to zip file, with email when you purchased Hair Tool. You can also download updates manually by getting new zip file from your Gumroad account. It will download these smaller incremental bugfixes. If you want go grab 'smaller' bugfixes, but addon shows, that you already have the latest version, use Reinstall Current Version. Only after implementing enough of new features/bugfixes publish official new version with increased release number. Note: To avoid constant email notification update spam, I publish smaller updates/bugfixes without version number bump. In new version is found, press Update addon button, wait few seconds and restart blender.

Edit -> Preferences -> Add-ons -> Hair Tool -> press Check for update.
