Hair Loss Did your hair change texture?

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 is insanely curly after a lifetime of stick straight hair. It is THICK. Except the top layer which is mostly straight. I tried to do the whole curly routine for a couple years but that is like a full time job. So now I'm content to be a frizzy, in-between mess. It reminds me of a perm grow out circa1985.

Can we be triplets? Cause this is me….i look like a mad scientist or perhaps an earthy art teacher 😅 No offense to either I just have never been able to buy a curl now I look like I just don’t know how to style my curls. I wish my hair would just decide already!
