Default Hi beam/low beam issue

When I turn on my headlights the Hi beams are automatically on, then when I switch to high beam the lows come in and then won't change back to high beam....... Anyone have an idea whats up?

Probably the dimmer switch. It's a pretty simple system, power flows from the headlight switch to the dimmer switch and then to the lamps. No relays.
