Hair loss and HRT

Hi all. So I have super curly hair and have always gone to bed with my hair in the “pineapple” to keep my curls from frizzing. After my 3rd round of pellets, I started to shed a crap ton or hair and now have a big ass bald spot on one of my temples and I don’t think pulling my hair up in a ponytail is very smart anymore. I’m wondering if there are any other curly girls here who have a different method for sleep time curls? Also wondering if anyone has had success with anything to help get a bald spot back to growing hair.
