So, I've made hair and I like the way it looks... except for 2 things.

Now, I know the UV isn't exactly right on the sides, it isn't that.

I don't know how to make use of the Alpha to make the hairs transparent and it looks like the hair is thinner in an area, and I also don't know how to make it so the hair changes color with what you've chosen for the hair color.
Any help would be immensely appreciated!

Thank you for reading.
