I have a character with a NURBs hair mesh that needs to be animated.  I have created a skeleton for the hair in order to bind a dynamic curve to the hair, but when I animate it, the hair does not stick with the body as it moves.  Do I need to parent the hair skeleton to the head joint before applying the dynamic curve to the skeleton?  Or is it just simply parenting the entire hair system, hair mesh, and skeleton to the head joint?

Thanks,
Rob

You only need to parent the dynamic curve to your hierarchy. It should be the duplicate of your original curve. Basically the the curve that is actually moving in your scene.
