Via hair profiles, it's possible to quickly and easily create a large variety of hair colour variations without the need of having colour textures. That happens via two arrays:
Determines the strand to strand colour by using the Strand_Gradient texture. The gradient serves to empathize/de-empathize contrast among the black/white scale.
Together with the gradientMap, this is used to generate varieties of unique hair materials.
Is applied to the Strand_Gradient texture to determine the hair colour from start to top. Via gradientStops, the colour positions from root to tip of the strands are determined.
