So my baby is one and a half. Still bfing and my used to be lovely curly hair is now slightly wavy but no lOnger curly.
I had it cut and it's all gone.
Do you think they'll come back?
Shd I try curly girl?
Could it also be the bleach / tint highlights causing this?

I think it may have something to do with hormones as my once wavy hair is totally curly after having my 3rd child 2 years ago!
After each child it got a bit more curly , sorry no advice but that's the only thing i can think of.

I think you are right- so you are the other way. Thank you!

Thank you thank you thank you.
After having my DC2 17 years ago my wavy hair became curly.
Horrible curly not nice curly - like the 'before' shot on the frizzease ad!
And I have mentioned this to almost every hairdresser I have had since and they look at me Hmm as if I am quite bonkers.

Mine did the same both times! I was devastated! but it did return after a few years (once I'd stopped bfing and it grew threw) with Ds, and it's now starting to get curly again after stopping bfing Dd :) so despair not!

Percy a good cut with the right hairdresser and the right products could possibly transform your curls into gorgeousness.

I had it the other way round.
had very straight hair but after baby2 it is wavy.
I like it, though.

mine did this. It did go curly again, but nowhere near as curly as it was

InfiniteFairylights · 19/03/2012 13:32

Mine did this after having my DS (but not after my DD). My curls came back in full force eventually, so don't dispare!

Poker straight hair until I had my DD at 40. Now my hair has a bit of a wave, which with the right layers and styling actually has loads of body.

Very, very happy Grin
