Did your hair change after pregnancy?

Question

My hair was also very oily before pregnancy. Now my hair is oily but my scalp is super dry, itchy, and flaky. If that makes any sense. I could scratch scabs into my scalp. I’ve tried washing every other day with dry shampoo in between but that seemed to make it worse. So I tried no dry shampoo and dandruff shampoo..it seems like I’ve tried everything. My scalp is excruciating at this point. Help!

Answer

My scalp was so itchy. It’s finally calmed down and my son is almost 2. But I’m pregnant again haha. I actually only wash my hair about every 3-4 days and i do not use dry shampoo. My hair was very very oily when I was washing it every day and i always wondered how people went so long without washing it but now that I do it, it’s so much less oily and itchy.

Answer

Hot oil treatments. Focus on putting it mostly on your scalp. Follow with a cleansing conditioner or mild shampoo. Use the pads of your fingers instead of your nails when you scratch and really massage your scalp when washing. Also try an apple cider vinegar rinse when you wash your hair. I do two parts water to one part avc or sometimes half and half. Pour it on your scalp, massage it in, let it sit for a few minutes then rinse with cool water. It really helps with the flakiness and itchiness.

Answer

My hair is alot thicker & growing faster, but I did develop dandruff.

Answer

Ugh I feel your pain! My scalp got soooo itchy after having my son. I am still losing a ton of hair, but it seems to be about the same thickness as it was before pregnancy. 
I recently switched to Shea Moisture coconut and hibiscus shampoo/conditioner after trying a million other brands (kerastase, Living Proof, Oribe, Biolage, Joico, etc...I even tried Head and Shoulders for the itching!). I have to say that Shea Moisture is actually helping! I think it’s the coconut oil they put in their products.

Answer

not so much oil changed but i lost a lot of my curls after having my son.
