Ok, I will try what bagginsbill said and see what I get.  The diffuse color is white by the way.  One problem though, it won't let me change the mat pose without a figure in the scene, so it's not going to be the exact same hair color I wanted. I will try using it with the figure and then deleting the figure maybe that will work.

and Acadia, I did change all the parts for the normals. Cast shadows is turned off, and visible in raytracing is turned on (although I don't understand this because it still seems to be casting shadows).
