Hormones are the craziest thing, people. During the pregnancy, my hair became extremely tangled. Forget Jewfros, this was one huge, thick, matted mess that remained uncombed for months.
“Please don’t make me deal with it!” the hairdresser begged when she saw it. I reassured her that I wasn’t going to because the only solution for that hair was to pour massive amounts of chemical solutions into it and I obviously wasn’t doing that during the pregnancy. I was lucky to be on sabbatical because I was simply not presentable in human society with this hair.
And then, in the last two weeks of pregnancy, the hair magically untangled itself and straightened out. (I mean, it was my definition of straight and untangled. To everyone else it probably looks very curly.) It just happened, completely on its own. So weird.
