OK... where in a code like this would I put the layer for an overlay?

                    if("Short1")
                        new_mob.hair = "Short1"
                        var/hairred = input("How much red do you want to put into your hair? (255 is the brightest and 0 is the darkest.)") as num
                        var/hairblue = input("How much blue do you want to put into your hair?) (255 is the brightest and 0 is the darkest.)")as num
                        var/hairgreen = input("How much green do you want to put into your hair?) (255 is the brightest and 0 is the darkest.)") as num
                        var/hairover = 'maleshort.dmi'
                        hairover += rgb(hairred,hairgreen,hairblue)
                        new_mob.rhair = hairred
                        new_mob.ghair = hairgreen
                        new_mob.bhair = hairblue
                        new_mob.overlays += hairover

hairover += rgb(hairred,hairgreen,hairblue)

That's because you're trying to manipulate the object it self. You only want to manipulate its icon, so...

hairover.icon+=rgb(hairred,hairgreen,hairblue)
