Made a post recently about sephiroths hair being weird (because it absolutely is, don't deny me) and I compared it to polar bears offhandedly. But the idea stuck so I did some research.
So basically polar bears aren't actually white, their hair is actually hollow and transparent! This captures and reflects enormous amounts of light, turning them white and allowing them to blend in with the blinding snow. Their actual skin is black. You can see this a little when human hair goes white, their follicles stop producing melanin and the colour runs out like printer ink. Unlike polar bear fur, it can get kinda limp without the extra substance.
But the important thing about polar bear fur is that their hair is intended to be hollow to reflect, and thus it's a bit more refined. This allows them at their shiniest, freshly grown in new fur, to take on an almost luminescent sheen just like the snow they hide in.
The important thing about this is that that is also exactly how fibre optics work.
Conclusion: if someone presses even a faint a coloured light to sephiroths head, his whole mass of hair will start glowing evenly the entire way down.
Secondary conclusion: sephiroth puts on a crown of coloured glow sticks and his hair turns into a rainbow trail.
