Is it possible for hair texture to change?

[WonderBell99]

I’ve had straight hair my whole life. However, about 4 months ago, I started noticing that my hair turned “wavy”. It’s now wavy straight. Some hair strands are straight while others are wavy. It looks nice, but I’m not sure why my texture changed. This has happened to a few of my family members and I’m not sure why. Thoughts?

PS- I haven’t used any curling tools or hair rollers in 6 months.

Thanks for the opinions, guys. I’d really appreciate some opinions from women though. Thanks!

Very possible. Vitamins, hormones, environmental factors, thyroid, endocrine system, etc. Lots of things can effect your hair and it can change several times/often throughout your life.

[WonderBell99]

Thanks! It’s probably due to my diet and stress levels. Is it possible to revert the texture?

[SnowedIn]

That is a GREAT follow up question that I don't know the answer to. My guess is yes, but I genuinely don't know. It doesn't help, of course, that I'm a man and that my hair has been military short for almost 30 years...

[WonderBell99]

Thanks! It’s probably best I ask a GP or a trichologist.

[SnowedIn]

Yep! And, ask your GP to do an endocrine work up.

But, also, this may just be a function of age.

I did my bi-yearly check up about a month ago. Everything was normal. Thank you. 😄

Well yeah, hormonal shifts—like those that occur during puberty, menopause and pregnancy or from changes in diet and stress levels, can alter the shape of the hair follicle. (Think of the follicle as a tube: If it has a slight curve, the hair grows in curly; if it doesn't, the hair grows in straight.

when i was on my elementary my hair is super straight but when i get into high school it became wavy... I don't know it just happened. i think the pollution when i commute on a public jeepney going to school made my hair change it's texture or maybe just aging

[Curious_teen07]

The same thing happened to me too. My hair texture changed after puberty. Hormonal changes, diet and genes determine hair texture.

Thank you. 🙂

Yes, about 4 years ago my hair texture started changing to "thin" with "bald spots" lol

[WonderBell99]

lmao..

Sure, hair like anything else can change. You are at the stage where things are still growing/changing and hair is definitely one of them.

[WonderBell99]

Thank you!

[OfMiceandMen]

You're welcome.

Of course it does of course it does as you get older your body chemistry changes you might change shampoos your diet might have changed the stress level you might have has gone away and there's many reasons why it could happen

[Giggles0]

I believe it can depending on what has been to your hair.

[WonderBell99]

Alr thanks!

I don't know. Mine was always straight but I know hair colour can definitely change. I had red hair and now I'm a brunette.

[WonderBell99]

thanks!

If you diet has changed recently that could affect how your hair is growing out. See the page below;

Applying egg on your hair may help. It can provide some essential nutrition

[WonderBell99]

i’ll have to do some research on it. Thank you🙂

[sunflower00]

I would imagine so. I have always had wavy hair but it’s gotten more and more wavy as I’ve gotten older to the point it’s partially curly

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Mine goes between 2,3 and 4 all the time and it's infuriating.

[Wild_princess]

Yes... it changes at least for me... my hair was straight in my childhood now then are wavy and i think they will be curly soon

[In_Trance]

yes it is

[WonderBell99]

Thanks!
