Dry scalp during early pregnancy?

A

I am 5w2d and the last 4-5 days I have noticed that my scalp is very itchy and a little bit flaky. I’ve been avoiding scratching because I don’t want flakes!

Is this a normal thing? I’ve never really dealt with dandruff or an itchy scalp like this before! I bought head and shoulders shampoo but it really isn’t doing anything at all.

So I was thinking of maybe putting some tea tree oil in my shampoo?

Anyone else deal with this? What helps give you some relief?
