Well, I gave up and "fixed" the issue with Shiva's hair replacer (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/7922/). Thanks to MrDjPeca on this thread for pointing me that way. I've tried a couple other hair replacers but Shiva's was the only one that worked. The hairs are sometimes jarringly fancy (beggars looking fresh off the runway, lol) and small grey scalp patches still sometimes poke through, but it's tolerable. Hopefully future Googlers stumbling across this thread will find a better fix.

I'd be quite surprised if a mod were causing this seeing as it still happened on a new vanilla game right after a reinstall. I've got very little experience with this sort of thing but I'll take a look with SSEEdit and maybe dig around in the bsa files when I have the time.

Thanks for the reply. By texture folders, do you mean the "Skyrim - Textures#.bsa" files? There's no textures folder in my Data folder at the moment, presumably because I've only reactivated USSEP and Alternate Start. And how could I get those missing scalp textures? Verifying file integrity through Steam hasn't changed anything.

I recently downloaded SSE and was preparing for a modded playthrough when certain parts of NPCs' hair and scalp became solid grey. When I used the console (coc RiftenOrigin) to transport myself to the Riften marketplace, it was dark green rather than grey. I disabled my hair mods, all mods, etc, and finally reinstalled SSE to no avail. I'm using integrated Intel graphics which are below SSE's recommendations, but it was working fine on BethINI's Poor preset just a few days ago. Here's a screenshot of this glitch during the opening sequence of a completely vanilla, freshly reinstalled game: https://i.imgur.com/dqKsClo.jpg Any and all help is appreciated!
