Auto normalize not working?

Support Animation and Rigging
1

I created a hair mesh with bangs and ponytails and a rig with corresponding bones. I have Auto-Normalize on (as I always do), assign weights to the head to 1.0 and use a weight gradient on the pigtails and the bangs.

Oddly enough, the head is staying at 1.0 even with AN. I though I might have pressed some hotkey by accident, so I opened a new file and appended the model but the problem persists.

Any Ideas what may be causing this?

Weight gradient doesn’t work with auto normalize. Use brush, or if you necessarily want to use gradient use it with vertex weight mix modifier, not with auto normalize.
