My Hair Used To Be Straight. 2 Years Into Treatment My Hair Is Now Kind Of Curly. Anyone Know Why?

[lexluthor.12]

Before I started my treatments I had this straight hair. Now, 2 years later, I have a curly hair. Also I feel like my hair texture changed too. Anyone know why that might be?
I used finasteride minoxidil ketaconozole and dutesteride on my 2 years of run in different times.

Some people's hair texture changes with the use of finasteride. Dont know if stopping finasteride reverts hair back to orginal texture.

it's the minoxidil, that crap fries/dries out the hair

nizoral does it as well but most people only use it once or twice a week

 

[lexluthor.12]

Well i stopped nizoral a long time ago and in the first year of my treatment i was only using minoxidil, and my hair was as straight as before. I feel like its finasteride or dutasterdie since they mostly work the same way. I was just wondering if anybody can explain the science of it, and maybe find a solution.

Your hair looks thicker and possibly more coarse. That's a good thing, right?

Finasteride decrease sebum /hair oil production which necessary for shine and texture. You have dry medulla of hairs so they curl.

have you tried biotin? I personally think it's BS (even though I'm on it myself) but who knows...

I dont understand the pictures. The pic with the curly hair looks like its from a different person. How does your hair just turn from dark blonde to jet black in 2 years?

I always had jet black hair. It's just lightning hitting my hair.

No I didn't, knowing that my problem is more than that. But I may start it because my hair feels so unhealthy, maybe ill use some oil too.

It's really not, the curly hair just gives the illusion of thickness

Well it looks vastly different.
Personally my hair texture changes week to week. Legit curvy, wavy, straight. Thin and thick. Some people just have that, maybe its the same story for your hair.
How old are you? Hair can change its texture when you become older, exspecially from teenager to adult

@Mandar kumthekar
Does hair also need sebum / hair oil prodcuction for growth ?as since i started finasteride my sebum /hair oil production my sebum/hair oil production is non existent

 

[Slid]

Why dont you cut your hair shorter if its curly?Applying minoxidil and drying will be a lot easier.

Yes in moderation it acts barrier and stops tranepidermal water loss from scalp and keep scalp well hydrated and disinfected.too much can clog hair follicles and increase dht in bulb(Armando's theory). I think barrier function is necessary for good hairs.

That makes sense and what i thought, you need a balance of sebum/ oil production in the scalp for 'healthy' hair growth.
Are there anyways to increase sebum to get it too a balanced amount?

Good exfoliation of scalp would make it more easy to flow scalp and hairs. Use lemon juice once a week to exfoliation.
