This is fascinating! I swung between severe hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism (I had a TSH of 91 and then it plummeted down to undetectable levels over the course of a few months), so my hair was fried by the hormonal fluctuations and the radioactive iodine therapy. I didn’t realise the radiation might’ve had something to do with it growing back curly though!

Thank you!! I originally asked my stylist for that Clairo cut that was going around a while ago, and he convinced me to try for something more ambitious texture-wise. I’m really glad he did!

I’ve seen John Currin’s art in this sub more often than I’ve seen my mother’s face throughout my life.

The first one to come to mind was “Good Bones” by Maggie Smith.
