Hair color not changing

So I'm having an issue with multiple hairs right now, where the color/mat will change, but it's not changing in the render or preview. In particular, the Nick hair and Tjark hair. They stay black no matter what I do. This is a new problem. It was changing for me just fine before. The colors/textures are actually changed in the materials, it just doesn't change in the renders.

If you scroll down in the Surfaces pane is Thin Film being used?
Nope. Thin film isn't being used.
This is a recent problem for me too, it was working just fine a month or less ago (maybe before I updated to 4.20? I don't know that for certain), but now loading any saves using those hairs or loading those hairs on new figures, it stays black.
I figured out what was going on. They have an "apply this material first" setting, and I think that applies the uber base, and it wasn't. I applied an uber base myself and then tried again and it worked.
