Still very different

After 5+ years my hair is still MUCH different than my old "normal." My hair used to be very thick and natural curly. The new version is much thinner (it seems like I have about 1/2 as much hair as before treatment) and straight!

After 50 years of thick and curly, the new hair seems so unlike me, but I actually like it better. I'd prefer it to be thicker, but I like the straight and it is much easier to manage.
