Excessive usage of hair tools and protective hairstyles that stretch out your curly tresses, thus leading to changes in your curl pattern So take a chill pill on those tight buns, ponytails, and heat styling tools, and make sure to keep your curls moisturised with curly hair products.
2. Pesky Hormones
If you have gone through major hormone-altering experiences like pregnancy, puberty, or menopause, then it is possible that these instances can have a drastic impact on your curl pattern. These hormone-altering experiences have the potential to cause a change in your hair follicles, thus changing the way your curls appear.
3. Hair Growth

As your hair grows, it is possible that your roots have to bear more of the weight of the rest of your strand, thus elongating your hair and making your curls looser.
4. It is the genes
Sometimes, it is family Sid online: “It is what it is.” Maybe it's all just genetics, and there is nothing you can do about it. As we told you before, your hair follicle dictates much about the way your hair looks, and hence, for whatever reason your hair follicles change, your hair texture will also shift.
