Has anyone else noticed their hair getting curlier on TRT? I have always had wavy hair but it used to just be enough to make it where I could have big poofy hair if I wanted it. Ever since starting TRT mine has gotten curlier and curlier… at this point it’s a major pita to even get it straight enough to not look ridiculous.
I did a little reading on this and found a few people doing female to male transitions (i.e. testosterone) that noticed their hair had gotten much curlier since starting testosterone, so I thought maybe T does impact hair curliness somehow?
Mine seems dryer as well. I’ve seen some people thinking fsh in women (which impacts estrogen for them) has an impact on their hair, but obviously that’s more just for sperm production in men since we don’t have ovaries and all, so I don’t think there’s really an impact from fsh directly in men.
I dunno. It kind of sucks though, I really liked my hair back before TRT. The whole numb d thing wasn’t so awesome, though.
My hair was very dry on TRT the first time around, then I found out I had vitamin C (iron, potassium, vita D), the vitamin C really affected my hair and wouldn’t lay right until I restored my levels.
My wife has nicknamed my short hair look as my “Eminem” look, haha, it’s def not a good one for me so no shaving or super short. I’ve thought about trying to cut it back to an inch or two on top but I’m afraid it’s so curly now it will be completely out of control that short. Now it’s at least long enough that with some product and a hair dryer I can get it mostly straightened out enough to be tolerable
Haha sounds like way too much hassle for hair! Mine is just short, I used to have it slightly longer but that required a skilled hair dresser to keep it good (and products), now the Mrs just cuts it for me, save money and time (both going to hair dresser and not having to even brush my hair anymore!) Win/win - plus I’m crazy grey for my age so keeping it short keeps that slightly less obvious!
