Maya Instance

I made half of my character's hair but the bangs are not supposed to be symmetrical, so I planned on mirroring the base hair I made and then extruding the bangs out uniquely.
So I duplicate Special (x reflect -1) with the COPY box checked INSTEAD of INSTANCE.
I need the two objects into one so I go into object mode and Combine both objects into one. Then Edit Mesh Merge to merge the center verts.
Yet for some reason what happens to one side still happens to the other...

is reflections turned on in your tools?

hold control+shift+right mouse and check the settings in that marking menu.

That sounds odd, but if you just needed a copy that didnt follow the other side I guess it would be less hassle with a normal duplicate? Anyways, the only thing I got is that it could have used the old settings by mistake? Did you delete all history before combining the meshes?

It was the reflections thing. Thank you very much
