I am almost 12 weeks pregnant and my hair is horrible. This is my second pregnancy. My hair fell out until about 19 weeks but it was ok. This time round it's greasy so quickly. I've gone from washing my hair once a week to every other day. 😭😭😭

I can't keep up with it.

Has anyone else had this problem?

It will be hormonal changes. Very few women can get away with washing their hair once a week. Try colab dry hair shampoo. It’s the best. Shake the can well and spray it on all your roots BEFORE bed.

@OP I was the same. Just since a few weeks ago(I'm 21 weeks , baby number 4) I started to see a better change and I'm able to wash it every other day without looking dirty.

I hear thou some experience this for the whole pregnancy.

I never fully experienced the pregnancy glow people talk about, apart from maybe losing less hair than usual, but greasiness has been terrible and also my skin has always suffered in pregnancies.

My hair and skin have been totally awfull throughout this full pregnancy. I never looked as bad with my other 2. 34 weeks here and I literally can't wait to wash my hair and not have to do it a day or two later because of how greesy it goes. Damn pregnancy hormones.

It's awful. I've got really thick hair. And I'm a hairdresser. My hair has never been like this. Looks lank and horrible. But hopefully it will get better eventually!
Unfortunately I have psoriasis so any sort of dry shampoo sets that off ☹️

I'm not even 7 weeks yet and my hair and skin are awful! I remember my sister being the opposite and her hair and skin being better than ever during pregnancy, but no such luck for me!
