I have not used NRass Blacklisting but that's an option too.
Bluegenjutsu's mod does not work, as we can see from reading the players' comments, because she had failed to take into account the multiple instances of the hair in the game and delta (patch) files. Blacklisting and EasyCASP Editor solutions will fail (for most players) for the same reason.
This can't be modded out, or at least not in the usual way by relying on one and only one instance of a piece of content. Apparently the actual game and patch files have to be altered, and that's not something we've ever highly recommended doing.

For those who do not use mods, the manual fix is as simple as taking the Sim into CAS and changing the hairstyle every time it appears from the random category. For Sims not in the active household open up the cheats console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + C. Then type in testingcheatsenabled true then press enter. Shift-Click a Sim to edit them in CAS.
You change their look to however you want...and done. Though, my random pigtails seems appropriate for the age and gender.
Agreed, even so for those who do use mods.
That's why I suggested they thoroughly read the instructions and comments and why I stated I haven't used the blacklisting feature so not sure how that works. So there are multiple versions of this particular hair set for random, okay. I don't recall having an issue with this but then again I have a lot of hair options I suppose for the random category to choose from. Even so, it seems to be a chance type of thing.
But no matter, it has a quick and easy fix even if there's no real or easy way to prevent it from happening in the first place whether with or without mods. Just figured I didn't need to mention it as people are probably experienced enough to know it's possible in the same way with mods to manually correct it.
