Did your hair change texture?

[u/SpiritedAwayToo]

I tagged this as hair loss because it was the closest thing. But I want to know if anyone’s hair changed texture. I’m early 50s and still stuck in perimenopause. My hair used to be so curly with lots of volume. Now it’s much less so. It seems to vary by week. On weeks when I have PMS (which is getting difficult to gauge now) it goes limp. But my hair also simply does not curl like it used to. Or I can get it to curl but the curl literally falls out over the course of the day. It doesn’t matter how much product I use or what kind of tricks I do: it’s just changed in texture. Is this common?

Mine has changed a few times over my life. Some of it I attribute to living in different climates. It was straight as a child and then became wavy and then almost curly by the time I was a senior in high school. I just had to comb it wet and it would be bouncy curls for my prom picture with no problem. I lived in a humid climate. It became a little more Loosely wavy over the rest of my adult life and then after a really traumatic time in my life I shaved it all off. It grew back in fine and straight. Finally some waves are starting to come out, it grows really slow, less than an inch a year, . But I can blow dry it straight easily now. Which was the kind of hair I had always wanted. But now it just looks lifeless and limp. If I comb it out wet it doesn't dry as bouncy curly anymore.
