I have had really curly... Ringlet curls naturally my whole life. In the past 2 years it has gotten progressively straighter.... To the point that i have to using a curling iron to add any body.

Could Lyme have caused this? Antibiotics? Age.... But so suddenly? Anything I can do to bring it back?

Funny, as a kid I always wanted straight hair... Now I don't know what to do with it?

This is a new one for my ears! Never heard of such a thing. Boy, this disease brings surprises in all shapes and sizes.

Sorry I don't have any helpful feedback. The good thing is at least you still have hair! Enjoy the new you:)

Have a good day.

This happened to me too (last winter). I just blamed it on the cold dry air and changed shampoo and conditioners. I was on abx then too (no longer though). It's gotten better, but I'm not sure what's making it curl again (supplements).

This has just happened to me too - only with half my head. I got my hair cut the other day and my hair dresser told me that half my head now had straight hair. I had noticed it but figured it was just a function of how I was drying my hair.

Me as well. I was thinking it was either b/c my thyroid went and took a nose dive.

Or from having to color in all the wonderful greys that appeared practically overnight with the onset of infections.

I miss mine alot.

Having some success with Deva Curl products, FYI

My hair went from having a nice subtle wave to being frizzy-curly! I have to blow dry it, and then use a curling iron to smooth it out. I hate doing that. It's so time-consuming and tiring.

My friend, on the other hand, had stick-straight hair which has gone very curly. Go figure!

Last spring my hair turned snow white and started to fall out. I'm glad to say it has returned to normal.

Don't know if this is at all related, but both times I have been pregnant my curly hair has gone really straight.

I was told this is not uncommon with pregnancy due to all the hormone changes.

Could your hormones be checked to see if they are normal for you?
