Head showing through under hair.

I don't know if this has been covered before. How do I keep the head from showing through in a render. I have tried a few different light settings, but nothing worked very well. Could someone please tell me what to do? I am trying to use the hair I bought from Daz. Thank you, Jim

What hair, and what figure?   And was the hair made for that figure?

It is always best to give a link to the product that you are enquiring about.

Can you post a picture of what you are experiencing and what you're using to render?

Genesis figure, 2 I think, and hair. Used bacic Open GL to render. Headlight turned off, used other lighting, turned down.

well Opengl isn't great at rendering doublesided transparent objects. does it render OK when using a proper render engine? Most hair does have a scalp to hide any potential problems, this one seems to be missing it. 

 

does that hair have a scalp layer?

Scalp layer, not that I know of. The hair is used just as I got it. I will try a different render engine next time. I can't use Iray, not enough computer.Will try later and let you know how it turnes out.

Update: figure Genesis 2, hair Flirty. Headlight light blue. Test1 done with 3Delight. Test3 with intermediate openGL. Other types didn't work out. I think the problem was found. Thank you all.
