Dither too strong when implementing hair cards?

YYEEAAAHHH

I'll start with my method just in case that helps.  I use Robert Ramsay's hair designer and make my hair strands/cards, I make my planes in Maya and adjust the UV's of the planes to fit the designated hair strands.  I import it into Zbrush - I find it easier to manipulate the hair cards in there - then I export the hair all the subtools together into an OBJ.  I import it into marmoset and throw in the mask into the transparency slot set to dither and G channel. 

My problem is the dither is so strong on the hair that you can see through under the skin unless i stack an unnecessary amount of hair cards on top of each other.  However, all these marmoset hair tutorials don't look like they're having this issue and they look clean and sharp.

Images are posted through links below.  Is this something I can fix in marmoset or something that has to do with my hair  cards?

A few things that will probably help:

• Increase sampling in Capture Settings (Ctrl+P), try 100x
• Increase the thickness of the hair in the image
• Try painting a hair-color region behind the planes. If you watch Vadim's video here: https://marmoset.co/posts/how-to-create-realistic-hair-peach-fuzz-and-eyes/ - you can see how he painted the area behind the eyebrows

Will definitely try that, also helped was enabling height and flat (in subdivision tab) and messing with those values.
