Information on the issues with CC Hair since the November 13th Patch
This fix is no longer needed. The November 20th patch fixed all CC Hairs, Beards, Eyebrows and Eyes.

I've found that alpha hairs (simglass shader) and EA-style hairs with custom swatches will not change colors in CAS if they are not enabled for random. I ran Studio's "Allow for random" on my CC hair folder, and with one exception all the hairs now switch swatches in CAS. I'm still looking into why the batch fix did not fix all hairs. I also did not try it on eyebrows or beards, so I don't know if it will work for that. People who have this issue could try the batch fix - if you don't like the result, you can always install the originals from the backup folder. The downside is that all the hairs fixed this way will now be available for random Sims.
Edit to add the download link for S4S http://sims4studio.com/thread/1523/downloading-sims-4-studio and the correct instructions.
After you install S4S choose "Content Management" from the menu at the top of the main page. Then choose "Batch Fixes"; "CAS"; "Allow CC For Random"; and "run". *NOTE* Only run this on your hair files. Running it on your entire Mods folder may cause purple mannequin people.
Orangemittens has discussed this issue with the Sims Gurus and they are looking into it as well.

Hi _orangemittens_
Thanks for the detailed description.
That was indeed unintended fallout from a bug fix. As you describe, hair that uses custom colors that are not flagged for random are broken.
There are so much hair CC out there, it’s obviously not good to break them. So I can’t make any guarantees, but we are investigating if we can make a reasonable fix. Stay tuned.
