Some hair particles are stiff with dynamics

so I'm currently trying to work on hair dynamics for my rig and I keep running into this problem but don't know how to fix it. I have my rig bending to the left to see how the hair falls and most of it falls but some areas are stiff with no dynamics. I checked the hair weights and it's blue which means it should be the heaviest. I painted it red just to see how the hair reacted and as I expected, the hair did not move. But when the weights are all blue some of those hair particles refuse to move in the image you can see what I'm talking about. I've tried everything to get those hairs to move. The only way to fix it is if I start from scratch again which I've done 4 times already.
