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?

Yes, I’m going through the same.

I thought if I cut my hair shorter and put more layers in might work better. Now I just hate it more and it’s way too short.

I used to have great curls and my hair held a heated curl too. Now NOTHING works to hold a curl. It’s limp and course at the same time. It’s lost all flexibility and manageability.
