Hi sepiasiren,
I ran through a quick Gn1 and EndOfSummer Hair scenario to reproduce your screen/issue, and two things occur to me:
your screen doesn't have the 'Verticies Selection' tab in VWD, and it seems that tab needs to be open/enabled for the 'Add selection' button circled in my screen shot to work.
second, having all of your hair selected is probably going to make things pretty stiff
Under all of this, it may not be clear that to attach the hair, you need to do the selections (you have lots of read vertices, so I think you're doing that fine...), and you actually need to 'Add selection' - which looks more like an option than a requirement in the interface... Again, that 'Add selection' doesn't seem to work if the 'Vertices Selection' tab isn't open - even if you aren't actively using those selection tools. Not sure where your tab is in your screenshot. hmmm.
So, here's what you can try:
see if you can get the 'Vertices Selection' tab to show up... if not, we'll need more research on your environment.
Right when you go into the hair assistant, make your hair-type selections as you have already on in your screen shot, but try press the '+', and '-' buttons in the 'Vertices tied to the head' section next to the 'Search' so you get a selection that looks something like my screenshot, where the red attachment selections are mostly near the scalp.
If this 'takes', maybe you'll be back on your way.
(if you are feeling adventurous, try the 'use', 'Search', and 'reset' buttons to fine-tune your selection experiments.)
Let us know how it goes and we'll go from there.
