Anyone have their hair go from curly to poker straight? I have absolutely no idea what to do with straight hair. I’ve had curly my entire life. Friends who I haven’t seen for a bit do not recognize me and my husband hates it.

Pregnancy changed my hair from curly to straight for like 5 years. Now is curly again 😏. I HATED IT TOO! Especially when I was on vacation where I could just let it air dry and it would be beautifully curled barely any product needed. What I did was embrace the straight and did keratine treatments so it wouldn't be frizzy. Once the curls started coming back I stop the Keratine treatments.

What caused the change?

Also, I’ve had stick straight hair my whole life and also don’t know what to do with it.

Actually, I feel it requires more maintenance. I actually need to blow it dry and must use product. When it was curly I could scrunch it a couple of times and walk out of the house with it wet.

Any big hormone shifts? I have had noticeable texture changes with pregnancy/nursing/weaning to the extent that you can see on my head when each period occurred. I asked my stylist if some people perm their hair if it goes straight at menopause and she said her mom was actually struggling with that decision after her hair lost its curl. I have no idea what I’d do either so def suggest booking a long session with a stylist who could help teach you to manage your new texture!

I went through menopause more than 15 years ago. Stopped hormone replacement about 4 years ago. The texture is the same - fine and full. It is just straight.
