As someone who has a love hate relationship with bdo's hair approach (seriously, they have a great system but hamstring it anyway,) I think bdo's approach wouldn't be within Ashes intended style. I really want people to have wild hair.
I think pre set dye patterns with the seperate hemispheres for each side of head, and a super extensive color pallet is the way to go. Less technical work, less complicated variables, more freedom to detail asymetrically, and technically more freedom to be applicable to more hair styles.
Layering the way bdo does is what I love about that system most but I think you can get the customization intended with that layering better on (hopefully due to style reasons) less complicated hair models in terms of individual hair strands with pre set dye area patterns.
