Hair dynamics not working

There should be a red stripe in the timeline indicating the hair simulation, right? But for some reason there isn’t and the hair dynamics aren’t working in my particle system, checking and unchecking the hair dynamics just doesn’t do anything. If I make a whole new particle system the red stripe appears and everything works normally but I would rather get the original one working because combing it was kinda tedious.

Any ideas?

Perhaps try hitting the … Free all bakes … button. Then caching again.

Maybe a dumb question but… Where do I find that button?

Oh, and I’m using cycles btw.

Nevermind. Problem solved. Ty. XD

yes and HOW did you solve it???
