Why isn't my hair connecting? This is my first time using hair particles and I've managed to figure out many of the settings, but I can't for the life of me figure out why it's sitting above the emitter. I tried checking the B-Spline option as a similar post has as an answer, but it didn't do anything (If anything, it made the gap worse). Are there any other solutions?
It looks like your subdivision surface is on a lower level than the particle system. You can change it in the Modifier tab.
