Thank you for this. My hair has been stick straight my whole life. Now that I’m going through menopause, it became very curly. Now that I’m in my 50’s I’ve jumped down the curly hair rabbit hole. I’ll be camping on your channel for a while.
Oh my gosh! I’m glad I found your channel!! I’ve always had thick, wavy hair but now after menopause my hair is now so frizzy and extremely curly ( some areas are spiral curls ). I don’t know how to deal with all this frizz and curls!! I’ve tried air drying my hair using curly girl method but it looks almost Afro, my hair is so corse now when it used to be soft and shiny. So I use a blow dryer & round brush but as soon as I sweat my hair gets that wild frizzy mess ! The sad thing, is all my family hates my hair this new way and say they prefer it the way it used to be so I’m now flat ironing it most weeks. Ya got to love menopause!
I'm so glad you added the piece about allowinging your hair to dry in the car. My hair has always taken hours to dry naturally. I've started using the air flow in my car to help dry my hair as much as possible befoee I needbro to wrap it in bu7 expedite the drying rhe process. Because of my job, I mostly fold my hair up. If I don't allow it to mostly dry before folding it up, it doesn't dry, and the weight creates headaches.
Thank you for explaining everything. Ive had 3b & c curls most of my life, but starting in my late 30's my texture & pattern started changing. Now at 50, my hair is closer to wavy - 2c/3a & some bs. I was lost when my hair stopped curling like it used to!
Just found your channel and am glad to see someone talk about hormonal changes and how it affects our hair. I've had straight hair my entire life and thought that menopause brought me frizzy hair. I just found out a few months ago (through a video here on You Tube) that my hair isn't frizzy but is now wavy. It's a whole new world learning how to style and take care of my wavy hair.
You are the first person to mention what happened to me. You can see from my old pic here, that I had 2A hair, during menopause my hair completely changed to 2C w/some type 3 pieces. I had to watch a bunch of curly hair videos to figure out how to take care of it. No one else in my family has had this big of a transition. My mom's hair was stick straight her whole life.
Thanks for the explanation of course, bc it also seemed to be a pejorative term stylists used for black women. I've heard it said for myself just bc I have a 4a/b curl, despite having normal texture. And the insinuation is the hair is impossible to work with. Perhaps the industry will come up with a more neutral word for that?
Thank you for this. Ive always had straight hair and now i have one side of my head tight curls and one side is straighter. I just dont know what to do with it.
Hi thank you for this video. I have a question. I have wavy hair and styling requires scrunching and squishing hair products and conditioner and when I do this I have lots of hair come out onto my hands while doing this. How can I style my hair without squishing and scrunching so that my hair doesn’t come out onto my hands??? Thanks in advance for any advice you may have
Thank you for this video! So informative, and it was good to hear you confirming some of the things I’ve been discovering. I entered menopause a couple years ago and just recently discovered my hair is wavy. Now I’m trying to figure out what the heck to do with it! So I’ll be watching more of your videos. My hair is slightly shorter than shoulder length, fine, medium-low density, very soft and silky and easy to over moisturize. I prefer volume over definition because too much definition makes it look thin and stringy. Can you recommend some of your favorite volumizing and thickening products for my hair type? So far, my hair seems to like volumizing shampoo/conditioners and the lightweight Curlsmith products the most. But I still haven’t found a product that makes a significant difference in how thick it appears.
I’m so glad you found my video helpful! I have an Amazon storefront with a list of my recommendations for fine hair. I just started this so it doesn’t have everything and I’ll be updating it as I go along. Here is the link: www.amazon.com/shop/curlychelle?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfcurlychelle_T5XBYAJ2VEC89WB01620. Some recommendations off the top of my head are Verb ghost shampoo and conditioner. Curlsmith thickening lotion. Rizos curls volumizing hairspray, this is amazing for both hold and volume. It gives slippery hair a little bit of grip without being sticky or producty. Aquage uplifting foam, amazing for root lift and volume. Sea salt sprays are great for getting volume and making hair a bit less slippery. Some good ones are the new Rizos curls one, Verb salt spray, Bumble and bumble surf spray, and Xmondo salty. None of them dry your hair out, they just add some nice texture and volume. Hope this helps! Thank you for watching!
@@CurlyChelle547 thank you so much for this info! I will check out your storefront and look at these products. I did just get the rizos spray so excited to see what that does.

Menopause made my hair wavy curly
Great video! I am 51. I guess I am fully in Menopause. I can’t say that my hair changed bc of hormones due to my home bleaching practices 😂.
Thank you! Lol that’ll cause some changes for sure. 😂 Thank you for watching!
