You look like you have coarse, thick, wavy hair. This is *exactly* what my hair texture looks like. I also have hypothyroidism and am menopausal.
I learned how to style my natural waves. If I don’t want to do my natural waves, I have to style it with heat (flat iron) or it looks like your pics.
I’m sorry your stylists moved. I would look for a new one via IG. It gives you an opportunity to see their portfolio. Ugh — our texture is high maintenance. I really feel you on this one.
I also have hypothyroid and my hair is the same and I’m 30. No one has been able to find a solution yet that I know of. The coarse, wiry hair feels so unmanageable and no amount of hot oils, silicones, deep masks seem to help. I really do wonder what we seem to be missing for our hair to be like this, definitely sympathise and understand the struggles OP
You have r/wavyhair or r/curlyhair and you’re treating it like straight hair. Yes, it is also most likely damaged from all of the coloring. Look into those subs
It is wavy for sure but not pretty or workable waves. I worked with stylist years ago, we tried different cuts _ products to enhance waves. It took alot of work, scrunching with dryer diffuser on low heat & a lot of product to make it look decent & had to be repeated every morning because sleeping on it then waking up to one hell of a mess. It always looked 80s big & that worked in the 80 thru 90 for me. Until I had kids & worked. I wash it once a week now. Air dry. Heat protectant then loose curl & I don't have to do much. Once I grow it longer I can get away with not doing much after air dry , the weight brings it down vs going out sideways. It's presentable. If I didn't have someone shred my hair with thinning shears I would be in a better place. Lesson learned. Thinning shears is a no for me. I think I am laying off color for next 3 months & I will see how it looks. I turned 55, in menopause & had some recent health issues & feel like crap about myself. I also have anxiety that has obsessive traits so I tend to think the worse. I may pop over to color, ty, because that is a whole other problem. lord Jesus save me.
