Notes

Hair color will also change dynamically on the map/minimap.
If the player does not wish to equip a watch, the Time Dye can act as a less precise Copper or Tin Watch to save room. However, they will need to equip a hat in the vanity slot (or not equip a helmet) that shows hair. Using a Familiar Wig can overcome this problem.
The Time Hair Dye's effect is shown while on the character select screen.
Although the Money Hair Dye only costs 10 GC, the player needs to have at least 1 PC in their inventory for the Stylist to sell it.
The Party Hair Dye will spawn confetti even if wearing a helmet that renders hair completely obscured.
Team Hair Dye works differently when compared with Team Dye and the player is not on a team (or in singleplayer): Team Hair Dye will make the hair white, while Team Dye will not work, as if having no dye applied to the item.
Biome Hair Dye uses the water color of the current biome. Activating a Water Fountain will change the hair color to that of the Water Fountain's biome despite not changing the biome.
