... I tried re-installing it via DIM and manually and I still continue to get this error. I don't have any problems with changing hair color of other hair packages.

 

EDITED TO ADD : This product also does not appear in the "products" section even though I installed it via DIM

    Is the hair parented to something else, than G8 or G9?

    It is a hieracical material and that requires you have the right parent.

    That was the problem. It was parented to G3. I was able to parent it to G8, change the color and then re-parent it to G3 again. Thank you for your help. It is much appreciated.
