I definitely can not send you the scene or talk about the character. I have created a sphere added the fur ball preset to create hair, then after the Ox Hair from Guides, I added a strand detail, strand curling and strand clustering. Messed around with the settings a little bit so they wont be default added the dynamics modifier choosed the wet hair preset and it works just as you expect it. The only difference between the static sphere and my character is mine is a deforming geo being driven by point cache. The hairs are grown out of a duplicate of the character body. And broken up in pieces, arm, head, torso and so..... And that geo is skin wrapped to the deforming geo. Am I doing something wrong? Is moving the points around disturb Ornatrics way of setting up the hairs with dynamics?

In the guides from surface I have remember root position turned on. I have been trying to fudge around with the settings for damping, spring and swing. But every number gives the same effect. So I changed the start segment to 4 turned off all strand collision. In the physical properties the settings that are on the modifier and the explanations on the docs do not make sense or match up. In the docs on this page this is what they say:

Physical Properties 

• Global scale
  Not currently implemented
• Mass
  Controls the mass/weight of every strand of hair.

So I'm assuming that the global scale does not work, so a value of .1 or a value of 10 will give the same results? Mass is the hair density? Meaning is it heavy like alpacka hair, or dense like porkiepine needles? Also how does it calculate, is it a multiplier or adition to what hair segments hair lenght? What gives it mas/density?
