FWIW—you only see through to the scalp either because the skullcap is misplaced, or because you don't have enough hair density. Those are both things that you always have in your control yourself. Unlike transmapped hair, you can make the hair as thin or as thick as you like. The issue is that unlike figure hair, you're going to have a bit of a learning curve. If it's not exactly as you want from the get-go, there are things to tweak and yes, it does take a bit of time to learn those sorts of settings.

Styling is a bit harder, but if you're starting off with a well-made hairstyle like Nanette's, it shouldn't be too hard if you know the shortcuts (e.g. to start with, deselect "show populated" and lower the density way down. The hair is way easier to style if you're only moving 10 hairs around at a time).

I understand that this sort of learning curve isn't for everyone. Poser's hair room is not as refined or intuitive as it should be. But for me the final result is well worth it.
