Issue with xGen hair

Hi there! I've been using xGen for a month now because of a realistic face I'm doing. Had no problems with eyebrows and eyelashes thoug, I'm having problems with hair on the head scalp. It's like the hair overpasses the guides provided giving it an effect like buffy, displaced. I'm posting a pic too. I've been modifyin maps and everything on it but I can't get why this is happening. I'm posting a pic too. thanks!prblem2.jpgpblem1.jpg

I would separate the back part of the head from the side part using a region mask. It's possible the guides on the back of the head are influencing the hair on the sides. Adding a clump modifier will also help taper your hair towards the guides. 

 

Good video on using region masks

Hey! Thank you for answearing. I tried to apply the region mask but it didn't work at all, don't think the problem was the back part of the head. Anyway I putted more guides and the ones that I have, the important ones goin up to down from the middle of the head I just moved them more out to be more clear on the "layer" of showing of the guides. Also applied another clumping. The problem I'm facing now is that there's hair overpassing the guides limit and I don't get it. I applied a cut but still is not working!prblem3.jpgprblem4.jpgprblem5.png
