Have you ever noticed that your hair texture has changed over time? Perhaps the curly hair you had as a child has turned into wavy hair, or your previously straight hair now has a slight bend. It's entirely normal for hair texture to change, but knowing the reasons behind this can assist you in taking better care of your hair.

Hormonal Changes and Hair Texture

Hormones are chemical messengers that regulate many processes in our bodies, including changes to our hair texture. Major hormonal shifts like puberty, pregnancy, and menopause can lead to noticeable differences in how our hair looks and feels. These changes are not something to be alarmed about, but rather something to anticipate and manage. During puberty, girls often experience coarser and curlier hair growth as "baby hair" is replaced by adult hair. Pregnancy typically results in thicker, more lush hair due to increased hormones, though excessive shedding may occur postpartum as levels rebalance. Menopause can also make hair coarser and frizzier for some women as estrogen levels decline.

Heat Damage 

Heat damage is a common culprit behind changes in hair texture. When styling tools expose hair to high temperatures, they strip it of moisture and protein, making it dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. This can cause split ends, frizz, dullness, and changes in hair texture. It's important to be cautious with heat styling tools and use them sparingly to avoid long-term damage that may be hard to repair. 

Stress Less

When you experience stress, your body produces more cortisol, which can interfere with the stem cells in your hair follicles and impede new hair growth.

So if you're really stressed out for a long time, it disrupts the normal cycle of your hair growth and shedding. Managing your stress is important to keep your hair growing properly. Less stress usually means better hair growth.
