@Sweet_Serenity Aren’t surprises fun? Yes, sometimes blow dryers, blow the waves out of our hair...waves we never knew we had. Did you use any mousse or gel before you let it air dry? Just interested. Also I found my curl pattern & texture was different when I stopped coloring my hair, too.

Spritz Bumble and Bumble lotion primer then once dried tinyest amount of living proof-amp 2 texturizer adds definition without weighing my hair. Yes!! Best choice ever made stopping coloring my hair. Love my natural hair. Now! Even more. My concern finding someone who won't thin my wavy hair.

Ugh!! Struggle is real!

@Sweet_Serenity Thanks for “heads up” on new products. Isn’t it a breeze just to think about you need a haircut & not appts. for covering roots?

This is a little off topic, but does anyone know if Eliquis causes thinning hair. I have been taking this almost 2 yrs and my hair keeps getting thinner and thinner! And I have very fine hair, too, that doesn't help!

I stopped coloring my hair years ago. Great choice! (Now they call me Silver Fox!)

I stopped getting perms a year ago. Great choice! (The most recent perms were drying my hair out terribly. And the curl would not stay long. Had I chose to do so I could have gotten perms every two months, or less.) Bottom line: I chose to kick the perms to the curb and I am very happy with my decision. My hair is now healthy and hydrated and vibrant. My hair dresser agrees.

I know that numerous medications affect hair. I take a medication for underactive thyroid which causes thinning. It is important to keep yourself well hydrated.

@Sweet_Serenity

Shampooing hair: I sometimes air dry my hair after shampooing and agree it does make a difference in the texture. Great idea to do so when time permits.

Hi..

Sorry unable to answer your question. Possibly someone else who has experience with the medication. Apologies once again. Good luck.

@AnikaBrodie I stopped coloring several years ago. There is a lot of maintenance in coloring!! Only had 3 perms in my 65 yr life.

I have a friend, around mid 70's, she still colors & perms her hair. I would give anything, if she would stop. Her hair style is VERY outdated, plus time consuming. I've suggested stopping both, but she won't hear of it,lol. She's very "old school".

Hair became a REAL problem about 4 years ago.

Stylist told me it has to do with the nature of “gray hair,” which doesn’t hold color very well.

She hair paints mine and it was looking like steel wool, although it is fine and now frizzy.

I will get “before and after” pictures to show here.

Started using BeautyCounter kids shampoo and conditioner, and now feel as if I have my “real” hair back!

-----------------

That's always a big problem.

This last time, I was at a luncheon for a women's group I belong to ... and I mentioned I was looking for a new hair stylist. I asked around who did their hair. The same two salons came up several times from women whose hair always looked good.

So I tried one of them and I'm happy!

(Right now my hair looks & feels like a brillo pad,lol...)

@Patriot3. Both the Internet and the product data sheet that should have come with your prescription are good sources of information about any and all side-effects.

@Kachina624 Yes, I know that, but the stuff they tell you are generalities. I wondered if anyone has actually had any personal experience w/Eliquis.

Oy, my hair. I had this one area in the back that looked like straw. No kidding!

I started on flaxseed. It turns out I like the taste of it and I don't have the straw patch anymore. My hair has improved, also.

Omega 3's are good for hair, also. You can read about them and see what you think.

Sorry, I don't know anything about Eliquis, but I am sure there are forums or articles that can address that particular problem.
