What is up with your hair?!? If you’re lucky, nothing… but many pregnant women do experience hormonal changes that do affect their hair.
Pregnancy Hair - Dryness:
The most common complaint is that their hair becomes dry during pregnancy. The best way to combat that is to buy a stronger conditioner and do deep conditionings often.
Pregnancy Hair - Breakage:
Another complaint is breakage. The hair may start breaking at an inch or two from the roots of your hair, especially at a part line or near the front of your head. This isn’t a serious problem, but may require to use a styling product to get those hairs to lay down flat.
Pregnancy Hair – Loss of Hair:
Many women do not lose any hair while they are pregnant, which can result in a luxurious, full head of hair! The downside to this is that after you give birth you may notice what seems like clumps coming out in the shower. This is normal and don’t worry about it. It won’t be noticible!
Pregnancy Hair - Coloring Hair:
There is no concrete evidence that coloring or perming your hair during pregnancy causes harm to the fetus, but most experts say to wait until you are out of the first trimester before performing any treatments. You’ll want to speak to your physician first, and if you do decide to go ahead with the process – be sure to keep the product off of your scalp and skin.
