I was just curious, if anyone's hair changed after starting HRT. For example, did you have straight hair before, and then get curly hair after starting HRT?
Let me know.

No, stayed as wavy as ever. It did get much nicer though (shinier, stronger).

My hair has gotten way more curly and puffy. I started to get gray hairs, both of my sisters went gray in there early twenties which might be the E or could be my time to get them being 33 at start hrt and 34 now. I when I was in my twenties with long hair I didn't have to worry about conditioner I just used the all in one pantene and one other shampoo. Now I have to use a conditioner in the shower, a leave in, and 3 shampoos.

My hair was very thick and curly prior to HRT and when I first started on HRT it became more brittle and straighter. But more recently in the last few years it's in better condition again.

I didn't transition to save my hair, but that's the result. I was starting to go thin on top but now that's nothing but an unpleasant memory. My hair is thicker, nicer, softer, better than before. Part of that is that I learned to take care of it, but a lot of it is estrogen, I'm convinced.

I was just curious about the hair stuff. I read in the Wiki that your hair can change texture, but I wanted to get some first hand experience. I really want to know as much as possible, and know how much stuff I might expect, and how much stuff is probably not going to happen.
My hair is in pretty good shape, straight as a rail mostly. Could use a little thickness, but that isn't necessary.
