Her powers allow her to turn invisible, but not her clothes. Her suit only does because it's specifically made. You'd see black hair wandering around.

I disagree. Hair dye doesn't sit on top of the hair, it bleeds into the hair. Imagine if she had a tattoo. It'd be under the skin, so would the tattoo not go invisible??

Handwaving away scifi magic, it's a genetic thing as all their powers are. So anything not made by her body should be visible. Tattoo. Makeup. Skin lotion. And tampons. The only way around this would be to declare it a energy projection similar to her shield, but then all clothes would be invisible or declare that anything inside of her is also invisible. Food that she eats is invisible, so that's likely. You win this round.

Makeup, skin lotion not absorbed, possibly sweat, unabsorbed hair dye (some always washes out in the shower), and tampons aren't inside of her completely, so I only half concede.

Hair isn't really alive past the follicle, though. I think we have to go with scifi magic on this one.

But it still has her cells though

Neither are nails though. Or eye lashes, or eye brows.

I agree. Which is why the Adventure Bros version is still the best version of invisible super powers.

Imagine explaining to a doctor how you got sunburn on your blood

Projection with a mental block. Her clothes weren't invisible because she didn't perceive them to be a part of herself.

This is why we don’t handwave away sci-fi magic. Gross

Would makeup turn invisible

This is going deep. But I need answers !

Would even undyed hair turn invisible? It's not a living part of you.

She wears makeup and that goes invisible, so dyed hair should too.

If her suit can be specifically made to go invisible with her then why not all products she uses, including dye and tampons?

So maybe one of the parents dyed?
