My idea for an augmented body would be to replace head hair (excluding the eyebrows) with a type of synthetic hair-like fiber that would be able to detect changes in the person's emotion and alter itself to reflect that change.
Mundane hair color would not be used with these fibers--rather, the color spectrum would change dramatically depending on the metaphysical, subjective "mood" the person is currently in (righteous, happy, depressed, angry, etc.).
Hair texture would be affected too--although this would be affected by the physiological aspect of the human emotion that is felt (changes in body heat, heart rate, etc.)
The changes would take place in real time as the fibers themselves are altered by special glands and sensors that would replace the sebum and sebaceous gland of regular hair. While the synthetic hair would still grow to a max 10", new growth wouldn't be required for changes to take place from the follicle level.
Here would be some concepts regarding the hair's appearance during/after change. The colors follow the ROY G BIV color scale, only white would indicate an "absence" of "data" (IE, there are no/there is very little subjective emotion in the area to determine a suitable reaction). Similarly, straight hair would indicate sub-par body heat, while the hair fibers would get wavier and curlier with more excited the person would get (Their heart rate goes up, their blood pressure rises, etc.).
