Paths with multiple Layers

[alpine meteor]

Hello! I'm currently trying to rig a large braid for my character, but the bottom part of the braid, the little hair danglies are separate. I tried to pick multiple layers to be on a path but when I moved the path it got weird like shown in the picture. Is this the right way to do this? Is there an easier way? I'm just confused about why it's doing this or if I'm just doing it wrong.

Please let me know if you need anymore screenshots or anything!

I think more screenshots or a video would be helpful!

What is the movement youre trying to achieve? It might be easier to put the layers in a deformer altogether and use the temporary path deformation tool instead if that makes any sense!
