mob/verb/Change_hair()
    switch(input("Choose a hairstyle.","Hair") in list ("Hair1","Hair2"))
        if("Hair1")
            usr.overlays-='hair1.dmi'//deletes hair 1
            usr.overlays-='hair2.dmi'//deletes hair 2
            usr.overlays+='hair1.dmi'//adds on hair 1
            //Note: Make sure the hair icon is in its OWN dmi file.
        if("Hair2")
            usr.overlays-='hair1.dmi'//deletes hair 1
            usr.overlays-='hair2.dmi'//deletes hair 2

Hello,

To save all overlays, you need to make sure src.overlays is being written to the save file. To add a specific hair icon, you will need to store that to a variable and save that variable to the save file.

To add/remove the overlay:



mob/var/obj/overlay/hair // to save the instace in
mob/verb/add_hair()
    if(hair) src.overlays -= hair // remove the old hair
    hair = new/obj/overlay/hair //create a new hair
    //perform any icon operations here
    src.overlays+=hair //add new hair
