Hi all. I have a friend whose hair losing its curl for no apparent reason. Her doctor is going to do a thyroid workup. She is quite upset as she doesn't know what is going on. We started talking about hormones and hair types and I relayed that, according to some, hair type can be affected by hormonal shifts. I would like to copy the "curly hair" posts that recently went through Lactnet. I will edit them so it is only the subject line and your post - no email address, names, that it came from Lactnet, dates or other identifying information will appear. If names appear in the body of the post I will edit it to read <name ommitted> instead. I will also make sure my friend knows this is all anecdotal evidence. If you posted on this thread and *DO NOT* want me to give her your post, please email me. If I do not hear from you I will assume it is okay to pass along your anecdotes. I'm sorry to make a blanket request rather than an individual one to each poster, but there were a lot of posts from many, many different people. Thanks! Linda V. [log in to unmask]
