Materials from Smart Content pane

What's the secret to changing materials from the Smart Content pane?

For example, I load a Genesis 2 base male figure, and click on the Smart Content tab.  I want to add hair, so I click on "hair" in the list of available products.  I get 3 options when twirl down the thingy.  Face, Short Long.  So I click on Short and all of the products available can be seen.  I pick Short, and all of my products show up.  I click on one, and that window opens.  It contains the hair prop and all of the materials that are available, like hair colors.  I load a hair prop (Basic Hair) and want to change colors.  When I click on a color option, nothing happens.  When I click on the hair, everything disappears from the Smart Content tab.  Apparently I have no material options for this hair prop, even though I just saw a bunch of them when I had the Genesis 2 male figure selected.

So....how to I change the color of the hair in the Smart Window?

Are you sure you selected the hair before changing the color? What hair are you using?

I'm using the Basic Hair.

When you change selection in the scene it refreshes the smart content pane, if you click the materials tab in there with the hair selected those colours should reappear for you. to select.
