Since becoming pregnant I have gotten an EXTREMELY dry scalp, it's really bad.

Has anyone else had this and got any remedies for it please?

TIA

Is this to the extent it's like snowing on your clothes? I have a dark uniform for work and it's very embarrassing, and has got progressively worse since being pregnant. I spoke to my doctor and she said the only thing to do would be to put olive oil on my scalp and comb it through but i'm not sure how effective it is?

Omg yes @Oldestchild90s it's so bad I've never seen anything like it - I also have very dark hair so it's so obvious :(

I don’t have an answer but I have sympathy for you! I’ve had this problem too, only thing that’s helped slightly is massaging my head with a scalp oil but it hasn’t gone away. I’m blonde so luckily not as obvious providing I don’t touch my hair too much.

Ahh me too! Mine isn't horrendous and I'm blonde so it's not too noticeable but if I scratch just along my hairline at the front there's so much of it. I was going to see what dandruff shampoos they had in supermarket when I go in a few days. I did see about putting oil on but I don't think I'd like that 😕
