Animating Hair Color change. (Cannot animate surfaces tab?)

Hi guys, I am fiddling around and learning different animation techniques. Now I tried to animate a hair color change and I saw that it is not possible to animate something from the surfaces tab. Right? So how would you approach this challenge?
My first solution was:
1. Set Hair base color to blonde and metallicity slider to 0
2. Set metallicity color to dark brown
3. Frame 1 = Metallicity 1 = Dark brown color
4. Frame 60 = Metallicity 0 = Blonde (Because of blonde hair base)
But all of this doesn't work because it seems like we cannot animate the surfaces tab. Solution? :)

You can use a sxcript to link the proeprties to node proeprties, which can be animated. This shows a way to do it that is persistent between sessions http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/elements/post_load_material_proxy_create/start
This looks complicated at first glance, but also very promising. I am always up for a challenge :)
