Help!!!My hair texture is changing dramatically!!!?

Question

Ok. I am about to turn 20 yr old, and I have noticed recently that my hair texture has changed dramatically from just what it was a couple months ago. My hair is usually silky and curly, but now my hair has gotten coarser, and has tighter curls. I have also been lossing a lot of hair recently. I talked with my doctor ( thinking it was a thyroid problem, which is the most obvious hormonal problem it could be), but my tests all came back normal.

Is this going to last forever? Has this happened to anyone else???? What should I do?

I havent really had any changes in my diet or anything. My family has a history of thyroid problems, so my doctor thinks it may be hormonal. Any NOTHING helps. No deep conditioning. No hot oil treatments. My hair is pretty long and I have stopped blowing it out and flat ironing it, so I don't know what could be the problem. It just changed textures and started falling out ....please help

Answer 1

You could have changed your diet unknowingly, because of life style change. Is your schedule any different?, more active, less active?

I have encountered some clients with the same issue.Don't panic. It could be a different hormonal change.We lose hair all the time.Think of it this way,you didn't get a full head of hair all the sudden when you were a baby.Not every hair on your head is the same age.A hair lives to be 4 to 6 years old before it falls out and a new one grows in its place.You texture change is most likely the texture you are going to have from now on.Get some hair products that will help you with the "new" you.Other than that, you can loose hair due to stress or chemotherapy.But I think you are just changing.Its gonna be ok,you will get use to it and you might like your new hair after a while.

That does sound hormonal, my hair texture has changed back and forth over time and there are times when it feels like I'm losing more than others, your experience sounds more extreme than mine has been...but I noticed that when I used to take lecithin capsules daily (a mineral supplement), my hair became much less curly and frizzy. I would have your doctor or a specialist do some testing on your hormones because it really does sound like that is the problem. For what it's worth, I've heard of people getting thyroid tests several times before they decided that was the problem. But don't worry, I'm sure it will either resolve on its own or they will find out the cause through more tests.

Even if the tests are normal, it still can be the hormonal changes (and that is what it looks like). Do you take any birth control pills?

In any case, try this solution to stop your hair from falling out:

1. Shampoo your hair.
2. Towel dry it.
3. Apply table SALT that contains iodine directly on the scalp of your head (Morton salt is good). Comb your hair in half-an-inch sections for that, and apply salt to the scalp section by section, so the entire area of your scalp is throughly covered with salt.
4. Cover your head with a plastic cap.
5. Cover your head with a towel above the plastic cap.
6. Wait for 20 minutes.
7. Rinse with warm water.
8. You can apply conditioner now if needed.

Normally, hair will stop falling out after the first procedure, even if the hair-loss has lasted for months. In rare cases, you can repeat the process up to 5 times for 5 days (1 time a day).

Try it, hopefully it will work. Losing hair is a very frustrating experience.

Hi, The best method is to start treating your scalp. I wouldn't recommend any drugs, Nioxin is a non chemical, non drug method to treat scalp, hair, and hair loss problems. Nioxin has a bionutrient cleanser and scalp therapy that will put your scalp into top shape and will stop the loss of any more hair. Even if your hair is not thin or thinning, this shampoo and conditioner is great all the way around. Check out their great website for more information on the technology of Nioxin. I've been using it for the 12 years that I've been in the business and I love it! My clients have been using it too with great results...Good Luck contact me if you wish. :o)

If you dyed your hair, the chemicals could be what is making it weird. I asked my hairstylist a similar question to this and she said that your hair changes in cycles every 7 years. It does seem odd that it changed so quickly. Find a good leave in conditioner and use a product that puts nutrients back into your hair.

Answer 9

It's all merely a matter of personal preference. I have short hair and guys like it. And i prefer a man with short hair over a guy with long hair because long curly hair tends to make guys look also girly.

Answer 10

1st use a mild shampoo like baby shampoo
2nd your conditioner should be deep conditioning like nutra vive by loreal
3rd hot oil treatments once a week for 6wks
also home remedies mix 2eggs 1beer and 1 tbsp of mayonaisse put on hair for 30-60min massaging it in then add 1more tbsp of mayo when you rinse use the baby shampoo to clean
the other thing is a shampoo and conditioner in one plus an extra conditioning conditioner(see#2)
you can also check out the internet sites on hair loss for info on that
good luck

Making dietary changes is your first line of defense in treating hypothyroidism. Learn here https://tr.im/Ly7gA

Many people with hypothyroidism experience crippling fatigue and brain fog, which prompts reaching for non-nutritional forms of energy like sugar and caffeine. I’ve dubbed these rascals the terrible twosome, as they can burn out your thyroid (and destabilize blood sugar).

1. Just say no to the dietary bungee cord. Greatly reduce or eliminate caffeine and sugar, including refined carbohydrates like flour, which the body treats like sugar. Make grain-based carbohydrates lesser of a focus, eating non-starchy vegetables to your heart’s content.

2. Up the protein. Protein transports thyroid hormone to all your tissues and enjoying it at each meal can help normalize thyroid function. Proteins include nuts and nut butters; quinoa; hormone- and antibiotic-free animal products (organic, grass-fed meats, eggs, and sustainably-farmed fish); and legumes.
