My female ranger also has a bald spot, on the very top of her head, and only when you zoom out at least a certain amount. It only happens with this hairstyle, and I am pretty sure it is not my graphics card, don't see how a graphics card could cause that.

I’ve heard rubbing in dried Yak poo twice a day will stimulate re-growth

It's so funny I think ANet should keep it in

LOL!

I've noticed several hairstyles that have this/similar problems...

The male ranger one with the black feathers has a little bald spot in the front when zoomed out enough

The male elementalist one with the "combover sideburns" has a bald spot in the back when zoomed out enough

The male mesmer has several styles where the hair on the backs of their heads (near their necks) turns invisible when viewed from the front

I doubt it will ever be fixed though, as in the end it is only a minor detail, and has no hinderance on gameplay.

I've heard that hair loss is due to poor blood circulation. Maybe if you use the /flex emote to do repeated hand stands that will stimulate hair growth.

I'm 36 and have a slightly receeding hair line. No big deal. Do I blame God for this?......maybe! Will God do anything if I bitch about it?......Hell no!

don't start combing your hair forward to cover the receding hairline, it looks terrible that way

Textures / Meshes have different qualities. As you zoom out as you pass these break points the textures seemlisly changes to a lesser version the Mesh/Textures to have the game run more efficiently and use up less resources. Because of such changes, hair will sometimes go "under" the scalp in certain sections, resulting in...... Appearance issues where it looks like you have a "bald" spot.

That is my guess, not like I know anything about graphic cards or anything.

well it hinders my gameplay expereince for sure as I can't bare to look at my monk losing his hair ><
I flex at least once every time I log in...

show your head tat, and dye it black

There's unfortunately a good deal of these things. My 15k Virtuoso armour turns slightly green while zoomed out. My enchanter boots also turns slightly green when zoomed out. I think anet is in full power to fix these. If they just re-do the LOD textures which are bugged, then it's fixed. But it seems anet puts small graphical anomalies like this as lowest priority.

And of course, we also have the ton of clipping problems, but that would be a lot more difficult for anet to fix.
