A.Make sure whether all the hair segments share a material.

 
 

How to make sure?

A-1 Choose the first Hair Segment from the Scene Manager
 
A-2 Go to Modify/Adjust Color, and set the value that you want.
 
  When you see the same type of Hair Segment (Ex.Wavy Hair), but they don't change color together, it mwans that they are not using the same Material.
 
 

B.Organize and assign material to hair segments.

Assign the same material to every hair segments that didn't change colors from step A.

B-1
Choose the first hair segment from the Scene Manager.
 
 

Use hotkey Y to switch to Modify/Material & Texture Setting.

 
B-2
Click the Paint button.
 
  Click on every hair segment that didn't change color.
 
B-3
Through the Paint function, all the hair segments of the same type are using the same material. You can now choose any hair segment and change its color. You will see all the segments will change color at the same time.
  Tip. Different type of hair segment in this pack uses different materials. It's not recommended to paint the material of Wavy Hair to Straight Hair.
 
 
 

C.Adjust color for other hair segments.

 
 
C-1 Record the value of Modify/Adjust Color.
 
C-2
Choose other hair components (Ex. Hair Bun, Scalp Base) from the Scene Manager. Adjust the color of each of them, and now you have changed the color of the completed hair style.
