I'm applying Guide Processes on my hair (hairGen node) and GuideGroom guides and recently they don't act like they should. I've observed this behaviour in my old files and even in new files I create.

The Guide Processes I've tested are Frizz and Bend. The default bend parameters should bend my hairs/guides, and instead, when I move my sliders, the hairs/guides lengthen and shorten instead. Depending on its orientation with the mesh it's on, there will be visible frizz on the hairs when no frizz is applied.

The Frizz Guide Process doesn't apply frizz properly, and instead applies the same frizz to each hair/guide instead of it being random.

Any idea as to why this is? The nodes started to behave incorrectly for a few weeks now and I feel like I've tried everything. I'll attach reference for each process.
