I'm sorry, but I also can't tell from your description what you are referring to. You seem to be describing actual ridges in your head. They are probably normal, only you didn't notice them until you cut your hair short. But that's all I can guess at. I think that if the two dermatologists you saw didn't know, then it's probably not anything serious. If you're still worried, you should get another opinion.
