I'm having a hard time getting James High Res to have something other than a large bald spot on the top of his head.

I can create a skullcap just fine, and I've tried layering the front hair in squares of hair groups, but it still looks strange. Obviously, having the whole skullcap full of hair doesn't do the trick either as it often looks like the hair is going through the top of the head. The sides look ok, the back is fine, it's just the crown of the head.

I've tried turning up hair and root thickness to their fullest, yet the hair still looks thin and the top bald. Even the sides and back are sparse.

Any ideas?

I feel like I'm doing something wrong even though I've used the ideas seen in some tutorials. I'm trying for a wavy dark brown/black hair style and would simply paint it on after rendering the model were it not for the fact that I need to use this model multiple times in various scenes and I feel it may look odd if the hair isn't consistent.

Thanks.
