Natural hair care while pregnant?

Question

So I've been natural for about 7 years now and I mainly just do sew-ins on my hair. Now that I am pregnant I heard and I've also seen that the hair does get healthier in this stage so I just wanted to know if I should keep my protective style or should this be the time to take out the sew-in and maintain to my hair as far as deep conditioning and things of that sort. My hair is thick and sort of dry and breaks off easily so I'm scared if I take out the extensions and try to care for it I'll regret it and it won't work in my favor .. what do you ladies think?

Answer

Honestly mine has been in a bun most of the time. If I want it long I just braid it and wear a full lace wig. My hair has been thinning out since I've been pregnant which is stressful since it's already fine and curly😩

Answer

It depends on how your caring for your hair before and after you do the sew-in. I haven't permed my hair since I was 17, I actually burned alot of it off (TWICE) in the back using bad flat irons while trying to keep it straight. Half of my head was 3inches long when I first found out I was pregnant with my daughter.

I did sew-ins for the remaining 8months straight! and all my hair grew back plus more!! It now sits a little past my collarbone very thick and healthy. Funny enough I actually swear by them if I feel like I'm being a heat junkie lol.

Its kind of expensive for the small bottles BUT Very much so worth it.. Try out the Raw Shea Butter-Shea Moisture Haircare line. It's specifically for Dry, Damaged Hair. It seriously saved my hair after I dyed it last year, that along with trimming my ends regularly.

I love Cantu along with Cream of Nature Naturals also. Extra Virgin Olive oil Truly work wonders on damaged hair(Especially as a Hot Oil Treatment!) keep your hair well oiled along with moisturized and you'll see a big difference no matter what the style is.

My favorite natural styles are Bantu knots and Flat/loose Twists, they are protective and have a beautiful outcome when you take them down.

Honestly I'm bouncing between Tresemme´ Naturals and Aussie Moist for cowashing they are great, have alot of "Slip" and best of all Inexpensive!!😄You get Waay more Bang for your Buck$$!

YouTube is all around great, you'll find alot of style tips there also. You can give your hair a break for a few weeks and just do low maintenance styles then oil,condition and wrap it up at night.

Sorry if this was too long!! I hope this helps Good luck and congrats!!❤

Answer

Buy a hair care product to keep your hair moisturize.. The sew ins have it dry it actually needs to breath so yes definitely rock it natural. Also you can get vatimin E and Argon oils to get it stronger to prevent the breakage. Naptural85 look her up on YouTube she shows you how to take care of your natural hair..... Hope this helps and good luck

Answer

I've been natural for almost 9 years and I have been shaving my head on and off for the past 2 years. I've noticed my hair is growing like crazy now that my morning sickness has subsided. I just keep it moisturized and wear wigs to work. It's quick and easy, especially when you have four little ones to get ready every morning before going to work.

Answer

The girl her name is Brianna something and she shows you how to do all those styles on YouTube. With natural hair it shouldn't be breaking off so easily. Maybe wash it more often no shampoo (cowash).
Those prenatals should also make your hair much more stronger.

Answer

Just keep getting your sew ins just deep condition your hair after every sew in.
