Has Anyone Experienced Their Hair Changing Texture?

My hair has been super straight all my life but now it’s curly which is super odd. Anyone else experiencing this

My hair went curly when I moved from my tablets to injections and upped the dose. I just gave in and had it cut short!

Yes it does help if you wash hair less. I went from washing my hair every day to every 3 days.. And i had to cut it all off pretty much because it got so thin.

I am not pleased. I think I’m going to buy some wigs. Any tips? The prices are across the board for synthetic and natural hair. Your thoughts?

Hi there. My hair has also been super straight all my life and after starting biologicals. I have a few curls. Crazy! 😊🙃

I was on infliximab ( remicade) for 8 months , my hair fell out in bucketloads , and it became extremely curly tight curls , from being relatively straight . After 8 months I developed anaphylaxis during my infusion . Now I'm on Velizumbad , and my hair is now thick and back to normal , no curls again
