How to overcome hair texture changes

It’s hard to separate our hair care routine from our hair texture. We follow bloggers who have similar textures to our own. We seek out advice tailored to our textures, and we buy products customized to our own textural needs. So what happens when our texture changes? Today we explore potential causes for textural transformation and how to cope with a texture switch up.

 

Causes of texture change

 

Pregnancy

Pregnancy is one of the most well-known culprits of texture changes.The hormones can tighten or loosen your curl pattern. The impact of pregnancy on your hair depends on a number of factors, so it’s impossible to predict how your hair will be affected.

Heat damage

Heat damage is another common cause of hair texture transformation. Excessive blow drying or flat ironing may cause curls to go limp. Depending on your styling habits, you may observe that some parts of your hair keep their natural curl pattern while others have loosened.

 

Transitioning

If you’re in the process of growing out a relaxer, it’s not uncommon to see changes to your hair texture. These changes may or may not be permanent. You’ll want to observe your hair as it continues to evolve.


Age

Similar to pregnancy, the changes in hormonal composition that accompany age can cause changes to hair texture.


Now that we understand why your hair texture might change, here’s what you can do to cope: 


Relearn

The first thing they you’ll want to do is get to know your hair again. Do a porosity test. Map out your texture. If it feels necessary, you can even get an expert opinion from a stylist.


Build new habits

It’s hard to part with products you know and love, but your texture transformation may require you to discover new favorites. Find products that help your newfound texture shine. The good news is that Shedavi products, especially the Crowned Collection, work for hair of all textures. And there’s no need to stop taking your Hair Growth Vitamins and your Hair + Scalp Growth Elixir.

 

Experiment

See this time of transitioning as a gift. Test out styles that maybe didn’t work for your hair before. Consider getting a haircut. Change is already happening, so this is your chance to experiment. A little attitude shift can go a long way.


Textural changes can come as a surprise, but there’s no need to be overwhelmed. Show us how Shedavi is helping you overcome your hair texture transformation using #Shedavi for a chance to be featured.
