Annoying issue with hair

vaaern

Hi,

I bought this hairstyle today, https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-strand-based-fe-2-in-1-braided-style-bob-hair-for-genesis-98-and-81, it looks great in the renders in the shop. But when I try it on my characters, they look like their hair is falling out. It's very thin on top and very noticeable from other sides too.

I've tried to change the line tessellation option to 0, I've put a background in the image, tried different lighting setups and fiddled around in the settings of the hair a bit. But I think I'm just doing something wrong. I've had this issue before, but figured I'd look for help now. I've tried with or without the scalp and confirmed the actual scalp and hair isn't poking through the head. The added image is of a render and not the iray preview. The preview looks very similar to this, though.

The "bald / thin" issue can be also seen on the product page though there's no such an angle of View like your screen shot ~

Okay, changed the Line Start Width to 0.20 seems to have done it. I wonder how I missed that setting. Thanks for pointing me in the right way.
