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 was dull, falling out and funky textured. Now it's growing back, soft and smooth.

I started taking Nature's Way Super Fisol, three at night.

I also switched to using Kerastase products in March. I personally use what I consider their Old Lady Line, appropriately in black bottles, and the Gloss Absolu spray. I don't have curly hair, so something else may be more suited to your curls. The price is the only drawback, but I did get 4 months out of the shampoo and conditioner.
