Have you brought up the Hierarchy Editor and looked? Is the Hair parented to the head?

 
Yep, that's another strange thing..... the hair (or other prop) that is parented to the figure, which would be the head if I'm working the hair prop, doesn't show up as being parented to anything. It's like this: Vic4 loaded, give her some dynamic hair or just a hair prop (not talking about hair figures right now), parent it to the head by setting the parent thru the Hierarchy Editor, hit 'OK', then try a pose. Ooops, the hair slipped off! When I go back and look, it doesn't show up being parented. Even if I parent the hair to the head, hit 'OK', exit the editor, then go back and look. It's not showing up. I tried to parent a vase to a simple box. Did a 30 frame animation to move the box in a strtaight line. The vase stayed where it was. 

This is something that just started occurring in P6. I got P7 to hold onto some Koz hair for V3 and ran a BVH pose file. Nothing fell off that wasn't meant to drop. So P7 was doing it, and now looks OK so far. I keep P6 for other uses and would like to see it up and going.

Just as a let-you-know note, I've been searching all over the web for any reference to this glitch.

Thanks for responding.

edit - - - I'm using both kinds of hair (figures and props). Some do fine, such as Grace Lion Hair and Sassy Hair. Allura Hair (DAZ) isn't behaving well at all. I tried using the head, the figure, body, chest, and everything else to use as a parent. No joy.
