OT: Hair suddenly getting curls

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

Does anyone know a reason why one area of our daughter's hair is suddenly

showing some curls, whereas the rest of her hair and this area have always (or

at least for the past few years) been straight? Is it something that comes with

the approach of puberty, just a quirk, or possibly a sign of something going on

inside that might be a problem, especially in circulation or intracranial

pressure?

 

Any ideas/experiences are greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

For some it's a sign of vit. A deficiency. Not proven, all anecdotal.

Hi,

 

Our daughter also got just one area that spirals when puberty hit. Our

pediatrician said that's normal/common. As he described for his son, who used to

have straight hair " Now he looks like a sheep. " Probably nothing to be concerned

about.

 

hope this helps.

My friend who had board-straight hair all her life went thru chemo for

breast cancer. When her hair grew back it came in such tight curls it looks

like a hard perm

my hair on the other hand has gotten straighter with age

a family member, upon losing a child in childbirth, went completely white

overnight at age 33.

It would be interesting to find out what affect the hair follicles so

drastically

I think your hair just naturally changes. I have wavy hair, unless it hits

a certain length, then I have big spiral curls in the back. When it grows

another inch or 2 it goes back to just wavy.

Both of my brothers had pin straight hair until about 11 or 12. Now they

both have tight curls.

My sister had curly hair as a toddler, then it was straight until she turned

about 13 when the big springy curls returned and have remained.

My hair was always straight until some time in my 20's and suddenly it became

annoyingly wavy. I have to blowdry to get it straight now.

My hair was not straight, but not really curly either. When I got pregnant with

my first child my hair went straight(31). It stayed straight while I breast fed

and then got pregnant and breast fed again. When my second child was 14 months

old I was told I had thyroid cancer and had to ween the child over a week.

After the operation it was 5 months before I could have the radation, but my

hair started to grow curly. It remained so for 4 -5 years and then the curls

while still there seemed to fade a little. I am now pregnant again and I think

my hair is getting a little straighter.

So I think it must have a lot to do with hormones.
