My hair is wavier since I had kids!

My hair is straighter. You can actually see it happening in pictures during my pregnancy.

Yes, it is curly now - was just wavy before. It is much drier and way more delicate, too. I used to have to wash it every day, but now I can go 2-3 days between washes.

My super curly hair became straighter and not as frizzy!

My stick straight hair got wavy - but just in the back.

Yes. Nursing makes it kind of dull and greasy. Totally crappy look.

My post partum hair loss hasn't really started yet (almost 11 week baby), it got really thick and dense during pregnancy, and my baby hair at the bottom has gotten quite curly while the rest is wavy (what I call the typical southern european wavy hair). I wonder if I will start losing hair in the next few weeks and clog the drains.

I lost my curl after my daughter was born. As soon as I got pregnant again it was back. I did start seeing a new stylist at the same time though so who knows?

Yes, it started coming in a slightly different t color! It unfortunately looks like I had dyed hair and let the roots grow out, but I haven't dyed my hair in years.

@Littlebit7: My hair is SO MUCH greasier since I had my son! It was like BAM, back to being oily! It sucks! My skin is super dry. Makes no sense.

Yes! It's not at all shiny any more, and always looks frizzed out but flat at the same time.

Another thing thats super weird is that when I was getting a cut after DS1 but while pg w DS2 the stylist asked me about how often I color my hair. I told her I had never colored it in my life and she proceeded to show me and all the other stylists in the salon that there was a distinct line in my hair where the color changed. She said she didn't know if it was due to childbirth or due to becoming pregnant again because it depends how fast my hair grows. (Also I got pg 6 mos pp so that made it harder or course)

I went back awhile after DS2 was born and boom - another line of color change.

So apparently I'm a tree trunk now.

Way darker than pre-babies!

@knittylady: Lol! I'm just picturing an anthropologist examine your hair, and telling you how many kids you have!
