Wahh thank you so much! 🖤

Yeah I also had a period last summer where I started to lose hair and that continued for a few months 🤝🥲 but that might have been due to stress, iron defiency and weightloss as well, but yeah PCOS isn’t helping with that either I’m sure even if I like the elevated androgen levels otherwise

I might try this when I go on my long-awaited summer holiday, thank you! And if you have other tips I’m all ears 👀

Heh the partial waves are very subtle tho and it’s more noticeable if I haven’t brushed my hair for a few hours but still kinda fun that it’s doing that seemingly out of nowhere

Oh yeah that would make sense if I had moved! But nothing has changed in that regard, I’ve lived in the same place for years now (in Finland the water is always rather soft everywhere). My theory is that this might be partly hormonal plus my current conditioner + diet might also have an effect

I’ve had similar thoughts about it as well. Plus I started to hope that the hormonal effects caused by PCOS would get stronger and more prominent, which is something that has also helped me to figure out my gender identity

Aw I take this as a compliment 🫶

Aw thanks so much!

I like to think like this as well, kinda nice to think that my body is already doing what it can on its own, I lost weight but if anything my ”symptoms” have just gotten more prominent

Yeah I find this particularly interesting since in the case of cis women to whom PCOS causes gender dysphoria, one of the treatments to lessen the hormonal PCOS effects is to lose weight. And I've lost quite a bit of weight but my body is still like "never mind all that we are still doing this" haha

Yeah I've been suspecting that my PCOS and elevated androgen/testosterone levels might be partly causing this since I've also noticed other "symptoms" of my androgen levels getting more elevated over the past year or so. Which is great for me personally and very interesting tbh

Yeah sometimes I might accidentally sit on it etc but I have never hurt myself too badly 😅. And yeah true, this has just been rather unexpected since my hair has been the same for years and years but now it suddenly does this. I have PCOS so I've been thinking that this might be partly hormonal yeah

Heh no worries! Your comment was both funny and supportive so thank you!

That would be both funny and cool tbh especially since I’m pre everything when it comes to medical transitioning

Yeah I also haven’t changed my hair care routine so this is certainly interesting

I might test if that would work tbh! Tho I found a really good conditioner maybe around a year ago so that might also have something to do with this, plus I started taking iron supplements 2 months ago and iron levels play a role when it comes to hair health so who knows. Very unexpected huh

Interesting. I actually have a theory that this might be at least partly caused by PCOS and elevated androgen/testosterone levels which I’m super cool with as a non-binary person

I’ve always thought that I have 100% stick straight hair but recently I’ve noticed that for some reason, parts of it are now very slightly wavy at the ends and I’m not sure when this change has happened but I like it tbh

Omg me too, so fun to know that you also did that! :D I had also forgotten about these for yeaaars but now I sometimes have periods where I listen to these in repeat for a few days hehe

Ohh do you also listen to stuff like this sometimes? :D

Glad my very random music babbles brought you joy!🫶

The first metal bands I started listening to in my early teens were mostly power and folk metal bands so this has been so fun
