I consider this a quick setup and render, I wanted to work with one of Syyd Raven's skin textures I was revamping to P12 PBR.  I used Littlefox's Amanda Hair with GS's Grey 2 hair color.  The lighting is also ghostships, toned down in intensity because of light-colored hair and converted to Blackbody emission @ 5600 degrees Kelvin.  I have been converting all my Superfly lighting to a more realistic emission, in this case, more neutral colorless lighting found around a cloudless, midday noon.  For the hair shader, I added a Bright/Contrast node to the Color node to increase the contrast; my rationale is that bright lights and light-colored hair are a bad combination, you can lose quite a bit of hair details.  Aeon Soul Stily outfit also got a texture revamp.  You will notice the SSS in V4's skin is a little high but I left it that way to demonstrate the lack of self-glow into the hair shadows.  I might revisit this scene for a better render.
