Like you, I was ecstatic when curly hair was finally acceptable. I
too, yearned for stick straight silky hair all during my teen years.
When I finally gave up and let my hair do what it wanted I got lots
of compliments and people asking me where I got the fantastic spiral
perm. Since letting it do what it wants, I have no more "bad hair
days."

I had heard that pregnancy could change hair texture, but I noticed
no change at all in my hair before during or after either of my two
pregnancies other than my hair being very healthy and resilient
during pregnancy both times. It was only recently that my texture
changed, and the only thing I can attribute it to is henna, since
nothing else (diet, health, hormones, weather, washing regimen, etc.)
changed. My texture change now isn't a radical one, but after having
tight corkscrew curls all my life (my younger brother used to amuse
himself by pulling one of my curls straight and letting go,
shouting "boiiiiiiiiing!"), it's noticeable to me. Before, my hair
would lose about 6 to 7 inches when it curled. Now it loses about 4.
