Why is the hair skin colored?

I made and imported a model from Makehuman into Blender–Afterwards I made particle Hair for the model in blender, I selected the material and Made the material color a shade of red. However when I Blender render the model, the hair is the same color as the SKIN----as far as I can tell all the settings are right—but I STILL cant make the hair color appear on the render image.

Can anybody see anything wrong and help me?

Hi,

Make shure you have choosen the right material in the particles tab (below render):

So you have a geometry with one Material assigned and use the BI renderer, right?

With the geometry selected, go to Material menu and add a second material slot (click the ‘+’ icon). So one material for the skin, one for the hair.
Now go to the particles menu and choose one of the two available material slots in the hair render section.

Add another material to the human. goto, particles, render, material pull down menu and select new material you made. You can have 1 material for each particle group.
