Hi
Could you kindly help? Here in this sentence "He has a slight balding appearance, with amazing dark eyebrows"
Why shouldn't we have slightly, because we use it as a modifier to modify balding. Why slight balding not slightly balding?
Thanks a lot
 
"He has a slight (meaning 3) balding appearance, with amazing dark eyebrows"

It needs a comma after 'slight'.
