I haven't noticed less oiliness, but it's possible. I wear it up all the time and wash it every day, so I might not have noticed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1822268 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 18:52:13 +0000 Littlebit 1822268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! My normally pin straight hair has turned wavy/curly! So crazy! Also a lot less oily than normal, and not falling out at the rate it normally does. So weird, but I'll take it ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1822233 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 18:30:25 +0000 loveisstrange 1822233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was super dry and frizzy. Ick. </p> <p>My nails though... dem nails. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1822229 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 18:28:44 +0000 erinpye 1822229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was more oily- usually I can go 3-4 days before it looks greasy, but while pregnant it looked greasy on day 2. I'm blonde, and my hair got darker with both pregnancies, but then lightened back up afterward, so much that my hair stylist laughed and showed me the line of color difference in my hair. I also used to have stick straight hair, and now after 2 babies, it's wavy in the back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821971 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:33:56 +0000 Rocker2014 1821971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my curls back while pregnant! I had curly hair my entire life, but during a medical issue a few years ago it turned pretty much stick straight. Once I hit the 4 month mark, all the sudden it starting curling again! Not as much as it did when I was young, but it definitely is curly again. I'm 8 mos now, and dying to know what my hair will be like post partum...I have no idea what products to stock up on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821960 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:29:31 +0000 PawPrints 1821960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was oily for a few days early on, but for the last couple weeks it has felt soft, thick, and is growing CRAZY FAST. (My fingernails are growing really quickly too). I'm only 7 weeks so we'll see how it goes from here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821955 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:28:08 +0000 Mrs tartan 1821955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got dandruff in the second trimester, it was really bad! Third trimester I've noticed it's not coming out when I brush it at all anymore, it's so thick it's almost unmanageable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821948 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:23:58 +0000 swurlygurl 1821948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Mine is the opposite! I lost curl with L, and am losing even more with Sis. I do not like it - I finally figured out what to do with my curls :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821897 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:04:23 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1821897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine grows super fast and none seems to fall out. It's so thick!</p> <p>I have naturally loose curly hair but it got super curly with my first pregnancy and stayed that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821886 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:59:15 +0000 Bubbles 1821886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair didn't really change during pregnancy but since I had LO it's lost a lot of volume. It used to be really curly and now it's gone kinda flat. Hoping it sorts itself out eventually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821802 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 14:34:12 +0000 Canoli 1821802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: yes, hormones in pp is what I'm blaming my 13 year old like breakouts on! And of course my major pp hair loss! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821417 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 11:48:01 +0000 charmed 1821417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The hair on my head seems to not be growing at all!<br /> On the other hand, my leg hair is growing so fast I feel like I need to shave twice a day :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821411 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 11:46:06 +0000 Weagle 1821411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pregnant with LO my hair was way oilier and healthier. This time around it's not as oily and just started getting thick/shiny in the last trimester. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821305 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 11:06:29 +0000 loki 1821305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my hair seems to be SUPER oily. i have really thick hair and used to wash it 2/3 times a week. now it feels like ihave to wash it at least every other day, which suuucks because it's so thick it takes forever to blow dry :( blahhh. i'm really worried about it getting thicker... that is the last thing i need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821233 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 10:39:55 +0000 yoursilverlining 1821233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: me too!!! I didn't notice my hair being more/less oily, but it definitely got a lot thicker and more voluminous during pregnancy. I used to joke that all my leg hair must have migrated to my head since my hair got thicker on my head but all but disappeared from my legs :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821228 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 10:36:54 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1821228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I guess I'm the opposite of you ladies as my hair seems to be falling out! And just as oily or maybe even more? I had really thick hair pre-pregnancy so this has been a bit of an adjustment. My nails are growing super fast though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821152 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 09:56:12 +0000 snowjewelz 1821152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: If she is then good! lol. I'm thinking maybe the prenatals we take help with the hair too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821123 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 09:46:18 +0000 LalaLove 1821123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair was so shiny and healthy when I was pregnant with lo. I miss it! It also grew like crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821118 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 09:44:53 +0000 mfa_lady 1821118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I had been doing that a little bit too, and had also started using a new kind of dry shampoo...but I've tried so many things over the years and never had any luck. I think it's just baby girl soaking up the oil! (Okay, never mind, that sounds disgusting. You know what I meant! Hahaha.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821115 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 09:44:21 +0000 spaniellove 1821115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had to shave! Seriously I shaved my legs like once a month (also it was winter)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1821110 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 09:42:54 +0000 snowjewelz 1821110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh huh, I thought it was less oily b/c I had been training my hair for like half a year now by not washing as often! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1820915 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 08:32:19 +0000 erwoo 1820915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never noticed the less oily part but I did feel like I had better hair while pregnant and oh it was so thick that I kept having to thin it out! The falling out part sucks but it grows back...very slowly though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1820907 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 08:29:15 +0000 Mamasig 1820907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my older son, it got oilier. With my younger son, it got less oily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1820906 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 08:29:06 +0000 mrsjyw 1820906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My already thick hair got even thicker and my semi kind of sort of half wavy hair got wavy. It's gotten even wavier since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1820905 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 08:28:28 +0000 Alivoo01 1820905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair felt less oily, but not sure if it was because I was pregnant a majority of the time during the winter/spring months. Now, omg, I have to wash my hair every other day it seems, but I try to hold out if possible to see if my scalp will regulate itself!</p> <p>@mfa_lady: yea, definitely hormones. As you said, it's the answer to everything while pregnant and during PP! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1820903 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 08:27:23 +0000 mfa_lady 1820903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So interesting that there are lots of different changes.</p> <p>Anybody know what causes the less-oiliness? Just hormones? (That's my answer for everything these days. Ha!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1820894 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 08:23:57 +0000 autumnlove 1820894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Less oily! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1820888 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 08:20:39 +0000 illumina 1820888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hair was great when I was pregnant...it stopped falling out so it looked so thick :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1820875 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 08:12:34 +0000 getjazzy 1820875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MelisMc: Oh yes!! I experienced this too. Not until after LO was born, but the rate at which the greys are showing up is shocking. Womp womp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hair-changes-during-pregnancy#post-1820874 Mon, 18 Aug 2014 08:11:43 +0000 MelisMc 1820874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine seems to be turning gray faster! :-( </p>
