Converted hair no longer works in Daz Studio 4.23

I finally decided to make the move to G9 after purchasing clothing, hair, and pose G8-to-G9 converter utilities.  After getting all the clothes and hair converted, I just found out that none of the converted hair works anymore.  When I click on a hair item, it no longer attaches to the head, but all sorts of random places on the body instead.

    Are the converted hairs that don't work strand based hairs?

    You may be on to something there.  I never got into the technology behind hair and never understood what technologies are being used.  I have assumed that when I see what appears to be individual strands of hair, that is "strand-based".  With that idea in mind, I assume that Out-of-Touch hair products are strand-based, and from what I see, most of their hair works. (Their 2022-03 or 2022-04 Hair doesn't work, though, although I haven't gone through them all to know what others don't.) Lenny Hair by Propschick doesn't work, and yet that appears to be strand based, but I don't know for sure.  Propschick's Mallory and Fiona hair doesn't work either and I don't know what type of hair those are. Goldtassel's hair products that I converted seem to be hit or miss.

    I only recently converted all my hair products, I think over 200 of them, and didn't test them all after I found all the ones I tested were working. It is possible that the ones I found not working after the VS 4.23 upgrade weren't working before the upgrade.  When I posted this thread, I was finding that virtually every one I was testing was failing, but it seems now quite likely that was just due to too small a sample.

    It is really a pity how many hair products don't work for G9 even with the conversion utility, but I guess that I have to live with it.

    Thanks for getting back to me on this.

    Update:  I had used the RSSY G8-G9 Hair Converter to do a big batch conversion on all my hair assets.  Many worked properly, but as I said above, many were attaching to other parts of the body instead of the head.  I'm still not sure if anything being "strand-based" is the issue, but I think I may have solved the problem.  All I have to do if the hair attaches to a part of the body instead of the head is to simply right-click on the hair in the Scene panel and select "Fit xxxx-hair to 'none' ".  Doing that causes the hair to instantly attach to the head.

    OoT makes it VERY clear when their hairs are strand-based, and they only started making strand-based hairs in the last few months.
