    hair that forms spirals or waves due to follicle shape

    Curly hair refers to hair that naturally forms ringlets, spirals, or waves due to the shape of the hair follicle and the distribution of keratin along the hair shaft. The curl pattern is determined by the shape of the hair follicle; oval or asymmetrical follicles produce curls, while round follicles produce straight hair. Curly hair can vary widely in texture and curl tightness, often requiring specific care and styling techniques to maintain its health and appearance.

      Curly and wavy hair can make hair loss appear worse due to clumping, but using less product, shorter cuts, and leave-in conditioner can help manage appearance. Minoxidil and finasteride are considered for treatment, and some find that styling can hide thinning areas.

      A user experienced significant hair regrowth after using 1mg of finasteride daily for a year, avoiding minoxidil due to its toxicity to cats. They attributed success to quitting smoking, a better diet, and reduced stress, with only watery semen as a side effect.
