Hair looks like it's glowing or my character looks bald

The issue
(This applies to all characters I see, not just my own)

  • Hair always appears to be glowing, as if light or shaders don’t apply to it. Everything else looks normal and high detail and shaders apply. But all hair colours look like a bright glowing neon, or for black it looks grey and faded. White is like bright glowing light.
  • Some hairstyles make my character look bald. As in, I can see the bald head underneath a floating wig, if that makes sense.
  • It looks normal in the character creation screen, but not in-game

What I have tried:

  • DLSS on and off
  • Ray tracing on and off
  • High and low and Ultra settings with and without DLSS
  • Turning on and off sharpening
  • Turning Gamma down really low
  • Updating nvidia drivers and repeating these steps again ^
  • Clearing my compiled shader cache and trying these settings again ^

Specs
Windows 11
Intel Core i7 9700
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
32,0GB Dual-Channel @ 1600MHz

Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas on what to do?

Yes, I have the same issue. I wanted black hair, but the hair style I chose looked ashy gray and transparent once I was logged in. Looks fine in character creation and the inventory page, etc… but in the actual game it looks washed out and terrible. I had to try numerous different hair styles to find one that actually looked black and not see-through or balding.
