So I'm still having trouble with this hair, but now I've run into another problem. I didn't have any particular texture for the shapes on Blender and after watching a tutorial instead of just winging it and googling things, I turned it to red and turned on AO. I originally had three pieces. The middle, and then the side in which I copied and mirrored. Then I joined them all, and it looked kind of clunky but I didn't see this weirdness until I put on the red texture thing.
Also please ignore the ear I know it's off, I'm trying to fix it but it's not on my priority list rn
when i take the matcap off



recalculate normalstool and see if that fixes it? – person132 Nov 13 '19 at 04:35
