I've been doing a lot of work in the hair room, and am getting pretty happy with the results. But there are still sources of frustration, and I don't mean just the styling tools.

Somehow when I am creating groups at times I have got to a certain point with apparent success, and all of a sudden what was an editable hair group no longer is such, and of course when I try to start over somehow my new hair group is dependent on the nonfunctional one.

I wouldn't mind the resulting messy file so much, but what happens is unpredictable. Hair props getting unparented, not wanting to follow the character pose etc. I'd like to know both how to avoid the problem and how to fix a file that is afflicted by this sort of thing.

Sorry if this explanation isn't very clear.

Meh. I'm better with growing and styling than repairing, so I started over with the two "broken" groups. Just made sure that the skullcap is always the parent. So far, so good....
