I was combing through old Galnet articles and i found this
Fdev please tell us if the hair is actually fake

Is the hair fake ?

Of course it's fake. Human's don't naturally grow blue hair. Only Kryptonians do.
If they've been genetically engineered for hair blueness, humans might easily be "naturally" blue. That's "natural" as opposed to a wig, or dye. We already know the Imperial family tinkered with its own genetics (for example, the famous insertion of the "no female children" gene), so it can't be ruled out on anti-eugenics grounds. If they have the technology and willingness to de-feminize themselves, they'd certainly have the tech for simple editing of hair colour.
I don't think we've ever seen canonical portraits or detailed written descriptions of the physical appearance of of any other direct-line Imperial family member, apart from ALD. There is the possibly-apocryphal story that Prince Harold, in an effort to correct his male pattern baldness, went too far with the experimental hair-growth treatments and accidentally turned himself into a fur-covered werewolfesque mutant which is why the Imperial family now shuns him, but even this story doesn't mention hair colour. So I don't think we can canonically rule out that the emperors of ages past didn't have blue hair too. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
In which case, the flaunting of the blue hair by Aisling would actually be a not-so-subtle claim to Imperial legitimacy; especially if the main rival claimants don't have it. And Loren's comment about the "wig" would therefore be fake news, intended to cast doubt on the purity of Aisling's genetics.
All conjecture, of course.

That's not entirely true, Marge Simpson is a natural blue.
.. And that rhymes too!
Flimley
There are male and female chromosomes, so I think blue would be a bit more challenging to select for or insert and get working correctly. Easier to work with what's already there. A wig seems a bit more likely though. Does it match her... eyebrows? Cough: For science. [Joking aside, it does kind of bother me when they clearly die/bleach someone's hair blond in a movie or similar but forget or choose not to address their eyebrows; maybe because darker eyebrows can be more expressive on film. Most recently I'm thinking of The Northman. Either way, it looks weird to me, and maybe they're going for that starkness as well.]
I mean, you know, by 330X it seems plausible enough either way. Just saying. They've genetically made a "blue" rose that looks more, well, rose colored than blue, and the plant's normal acidity apparently breaks down the "natural" pigment anyway.
Cheers.

Although I think we need clarification if easy applies with everyone or just the charity workers.
I'm sure Denton knows, but he ain't telling.
Definitely a collar and cuff question.
i'm waiting for a concrete answer from Frontier , they promised communication , so at least answer simple questions
Where are the footpix when you need them?
She might be from Krypton though. I'm sure Springfield isn't that far from Smallville.
Perfectly natural hair colour
Dear gods, i remember why i never read those articles. The prose reads like fanfic written by a spotty 14 year old.
Erm... apologies to whoever at FD wrote that... and hope your acne clears up one day.

I thought Sapyx made that all up...
Pretty sure he did, guess i traumatised AA with ny "Aisling is half-mudlark" theory though.
