Did pregnancy cause your hair to be oily?

Question

My hair never used to get oily but now in the past few weeks I've noticed that my hair is so oily!!! Is this from the pregnancy? I'm 5 weeks.

Answer

Pregnancy can do many things to your hair , I know a women who got pregnant and she had the straightest hair ever and when she got pregnant around 8 months one side of her head got curly and the other half stood straight it was weird but she loved it cause she didn't know pregnancy can do something like that lol

Answer

The complete opposite for me. My hair is extremely dry

Answer

My hair has always been full & thick so I didn't notice a difference there but pregnancy has added oiliness into the mix! It's wild how I used to be able to go days without washing , but now it's greasy after just a day .

Answer

I haven't noticed a change. In fact, at 37 weeks I am so much lazier, and only wash it every three or so days instead of every day, so it's actually gotten better. But I don't have particularly oily hair to begin with. More dry. Tbh, everyone's hormones seem to have different effects. I'm still waiting for that elusive pregnancy glow!! 😂😂

Answer

Yep, my hair got super oily in the beginning but went back to normal after my hormones leveled out

Answer

For me, it was exactly the opposite, but it can shift your hormones.

Answer

It can. For me, it was opposite. Hormones.

Answer

Answer

My hair has gotten better. It curls better is and is shinier. It also seems fuller.
