Hair Strand Constraint

I have hair that needs to go into a hairband (similar to a band for a ponytail). The guides go into the hairband with plenty of room to allow for hair to follow into the hairband.  The problem is that the hair does not properly follow into the hairband. The attached image illustrates the problem. I have also included the settings I am using. How can I properly constrain/direct hair into a hairband?

Hello, have you tried adding strand clustering modifier to your hair? It can bring guides closer to the hair and fit it inside the hair band.

Marsel,

Thank you for your response.  The solution came from a combination of two things:

1. Add more guides near the hairband.  I had too few guides near the hairband making the interpolation a bit wild.

2. As you suggested, add a clustering modifier.  This tightened up the hair a bit near the hairband.
