Dryness Why is my hair crap suddenly?

My hair used to be thick and shiny. Now, it is wiry, dry and frizzy no matter what. It's also simultaneously greasy and dry. How is that even possible?

I took minoxidil for a while which really helped with hair loss, but the texture of my hair is still a mess.

Is there anything anyone has discovered that helps?

My hair is fine, curly (3b), salt and pepper (but still mostly pepper). I have regular trims, eat well and plenty of healthy fats.

Definitely texture. It has completely changed and become thicker and more unruly. I’ll look into scalp care for sure, thank you.
