Keratin is the main constituent grown from skin:
- the α-keratins in the hair (including wool), horns, nails, claws and hooves of mammals
- the harder β-keratins found in nails and in the scales and claws of reptiles, their shells (chelonians, such as tortoise, turtle, terrapin), and in the feathers, beaks, claws ofbirds and quills of porcupines.[1] (These keratins are formed primarily in beta sheets. However, beta sheets are also found in α-keratins.)
Pure keratin is almost transparent slightly milky (like your fingernails) but can bind to a number of pigments making the range of colors found in nature quite extensive.

It does cause some heat damage and that might change your hair color though...
