My scalp is horrible being 15-16 months postpartum. I use moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. It seems to help, but I need something for my scalp. Somebody mentioned it in a previous thread, now I can't remember it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-hair-get-freakishly-dry-post-partum#post-1270938 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 03:05:04 +0000 Kimberlybee 1270938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Worst hair I've ever had is now, 7 months pp, super dry and falling out everywhere (thinning). :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-hair-get-freakishly-dry-post-partum#post-1269260 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 12:41:46 +0000 Mrs. Pink 1269260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: I wonder if pumping is doing this to me then? My hands are scaley- and I use a lot of moisturizer etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-hair-get-freakishly-dry-post-partum#post-1269236 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 12:31:20 +0000 Smar11 1269236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep.

When my daughter was on a growth spurt, my skin and hair would be terribly dry. Increasing my fat consumption helped some, but mostly it just got better as she got older and nursed less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-hair-get-freakishly-dry-post-partum#post-1268995 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 11:07:11 +0000 lilyann 1268995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pink: My hair did the same :sad: I started using the It's a 10, Miracle leave in treatment, I buy mine from Target...pretty expensive but I think it has done wonders on my hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-hair-get-freakishly-dry-post-partum#post-1268977 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 11:02:10 +0000 Mrs. Pink 1268977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm starting to think there is some use to getting a "mom" haircut right after the baby is born LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-hair-get-freakishly-dry-post-partum#post-1268934 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:51:36 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1268934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes...PP hair was absolutely horrible for me. My hair was a stringy knotty mess...and then it just started breaking and falling out in clumps. I'm 14 months PP and my hair still hasn't fully recovered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-hair-get-freakishly-dry-post-partum#post-1268888 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:41:28 +0000 Foodnerd81 1268888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh-- my hair is just falling out in handfuls. Literally-- I pull my fingers through it and come away with a fistful of hair. It's so fine at this point there isn't really enough to knot (even though it hasn't been cut since June). I need to cut a bunch off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-hair-get-freakishly-dry-post-partum#post-1268882 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:39:13 +0000 mrsjyw 1268882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep-- horribly knotty and dry, and i brush daily (which i never used to do pre-preg!)... I've been using bedhead shampoo/conditioner and using Tigi's leave-in conditioner...and their hair styling serum, which has helped a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-hair-get-freakishly-dry-post-partum#post-1268873 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:35:05 +0000 jh524 1268873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! Oh my hair is terrible right now. I'm 5 month pp and it's falling out in hords and get super knotty and looks stringy. I have a hard time brushing it and it's breaking and it's really depressing! I'm tempted to cut it but my husband says not to. I haven't been using nice salon hair products because I don't have the money right now. I have been using Pantene beautiful lengths shampoo and cond. and Paul Mitchell The detangler, which is pretty much empty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-elses-hair-get-freakishly-dry-post-partum#post-1268819 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 10:14:35 +0000 Mrs. Pink 1268819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair was a little dry during pregnancy as well but now, it's dry and frazzled looking and gets tangled really, really easily... we're talking knots.</p> <p>I had a trim right before Halloween so I know I'm due soon, but it's never been this bad-- I have very fine hair but a lot of it... and use salon quality shampoo and conditioner (Joico K Pack)</p> <p>Anyone else have this problem? What deep conditioners or treatments did/do you use? </p>
