I'm having more or less the same issue, except it's a roll of the dice during each major load screen. If I fight a mini boss, die an continue from last save it's anyone's guess if I'll have my characters face and hair or the original default look. Regardless of what shows while playing in the character screen it still shows my custom look. I've tried altering graphics setting to help worth processing but it's not helped. All that helps is constantly closing and reopening a save until it decides to actually load my character look. The mirror only helps sometimes.
