Can hair strand thickness change?
It has to do with how much you wash your hair. Lot’s of people think that they’re supposed to wash their hair every sinlge day, they are very wrong in deed. If you didn’t used to wash your hair every single day, and you do now, then your hair texture can change from soft to dry.(this happens to many people) Now you said that your hair is dry, if your hair is dry it can make it more course, I had this same problem, it was because I washed my hair every single day. I hated it my hair it was so dry. I talked to my friend and she is a professional hairstylist and she said that you are only supposed to wash your hair twice a week,(any professional will tell you this) because if you wash it too much (even if you are using conditioner) then it washes out the natural oils and minerals in your hair, and then it becomes dryer, so if you do not want this to happen any professional would tell you you are only supposed to wash it twice a week (I know this seems gross) but your hair will soon adjust
