'The culprit of this hair change could be that Taylor's hormones are changing as she's getting older,' the haircare pro explained. 'Hormones change every seven years and a lot of times the hair texture alters as a result.
Taylor kept her strands relatively straight in 2011, completely ditching her coils. Curly-haired Taylor was no more. From here on out, she opted for straighter styles.
Hormonal changes like pregnancy, puberty or menopause can cause your curl pattern to change drastically. The shape of your hair follicles defines your curl pattern and texture, so when your body goes through a major hormonal overhaul, it can also change the shape of your follicles, thus changing your curl pattern.
As she told the magazine, "From birth, I had the curliest hair and now it is STRAIGHT."
But sometime in 2011, Swift was introduced to a flat iron, and started smoothing her strands on a more regular basis.
Still, while she's experimented with both lighter and darker shades for music videos and performances, she's always been a natural blond, so hailing her as "blondie" is not a stretch.
Watch carefully, she says, “and you'll see that sometimes, when someone is hugging Taylor, I'll put my hand on the back of my head because the wig would get caught on their shirt.” At last, however, the wig is gone!
They tend to be straight at the crown and start forming a defined wavy texture at the midpoint of the locks that continues down to the ends. It has a moderate amount of volume and thickness and doesn't lose its shape easily. Even wet hair still maintains a noticeable wavy pattern.
2C type hair is extremely wavy but not coily. The S-shape bends in the hair start off at the roots. These waves are defined and thick. The bends are looser and wider than the tighter structure of curly hair.
Others have curls and straighten them out. But for a few people, their hair actually changes shape and texture on its own — and not just because of the weather. Scientists don't know exactly why this happens, but it probably has to do with a combination of genetics, hormones and body chemistry.
Less than 20% of people have naturally curly hair. The percentage gets even smaller when you consider the scores of guys out there who don't embrace their curls.
Curly hair is a bit more delicate than straight hair, and the tighter the curl or coil, the more fragile the strand.
Temple's mother styled her daughter's hair in pin curls for each feature film. Every hairdo had exactly 56 curls, no more, no less. Temple told The Times in 1989 that her “super mother ... kept my head on straight.”
Invented by white chemist and hairdresser Robert 'Jheri' Redding (co-founder of Redken), the eponymous Jheri Curl was a permanent waved hairstyle hugely popular with African Americans during the 1970s and 1980s.
So, while curly-haired parents tend to have curly-haired kids, there's no guarantee it will happen. Because many different genes are involved, even a curly-haired parent can have—and pass along—straight-hair gene variations.
2B hair consists of 'S' shaped waves in the lengths, but sits relatively straight at the roots. 2C hair has even more defined 'S' shaped curls that start from the root and continue down the lengths of the hair.
Type 2A hair is fine and thin with individual strands forming an “S” shape when dry. It is easy to use styling products to curl or straighten Type 2A hair. Type 2B hair is wavy and slightly frizzier than Type 2A hair. When dry, individual strands create an “S” shape with some frizz.
The main difference is that 1C tends to be more coarse and thick, whereas 2A is a bit more fine and flat. 1C has some volume and body, but 2A doesn't. If you have more waves in your hair, you likely fall into the 2A category. If the waves are barely there and mainly underneath, you probably have 1C hair.
Type 1A is hair that has baby-fine, completely straight strands. This type is straight from root to tip. Typically, type 1A hair has little to no body and has a difficult time keeping a curl. This hair type is actually pretty rare.
Like all type 2 hair, 2c hair is wavy, but that often feels like a technicality. Your S-bend hair is thick and the waves start at the roots. If you've ever been confused about whether your hair is wavy or curly, it's likely you have the 2c hair type.
1C hair is straight but thick and coarse. It has a natural tousled look and tends to frizz. Type 2 is wavy hair. Wavy hair follicles tend to have an “S” shape. Wavy strands are bendable, lay flatter than curly or coily hair, and can be fine, coarse or in between.
Taylor Swift considers number 13 to be her lucky number. She constantly references it. Taylor talking about why 13 is her lucky number in an interview: "I was born on the 13th, I turned 13 on Friday the 13th, my first album went gold in 13 weeks.
One of the transformations involved the actor sporting a wig during her early weeks of filming. The reason for the wig is because Allen had a blonde pixie cut, and Taylor is known for her dark locks. Allen ordered a wig from Amazon and cut it to fit Taylor's signature style.
Clarifying in another post that the scenes were shot four weeks ago, prior to their hiatus, the actress revealed the unexpectedly dramatic story behind the bandage — she'd saved a friend from a house fire! When asked about her hand, Allen relayed, “Ohhhhh boy! Yeah. Long story.
