Unfortunately you can't really go by hair color. Your bud will actually look ready or ripe when it is time, and yes the hairs usually darken and change color. You can also spend 12$ at radioshack for a pocket microscope and check the trichomes.
Here is a shot I took today of my bud.
I plan on cutting this weekend to give you an idea.
some would say it is not ready, See the white stuff? those are trichomes.
When they are white, or cloudy they are ripening. Once they turn an amber color they have stopped ripening and start to lose potency.
The hairs or pistils have turned a reddish color, compare them to the top one.
That should give you a better idea.
