Hi all. Am pg and it is causing havoc with my hair! It never feels clean and looks greasy so quickly. Any ideas on what to do? What to wash it with? I dont wash it everyday am thinking of getting a dry shampoo- (what one?) For the inbetween washes days. would that work? Agh! Am poorly and look rough as it is would like to at least to look nearly normal! Many thanks

Aw, bless you! Are you blonde/lightish? I use a small amount of very fine talc rubbed into the scalp and then brushed out to get by in between hair washes, it absorbs the grease - washing my hair every day makes it go really crap.
If you are dark haired I'm not sure what you can try though, all I know is talc is a god send for my now dark blonde hair (used to be light blonde before I gave birth to dc2! Grrr!)

Pregnancy no2 played havoc with my hair too - it was greasy all the time, I moulted like a cat, and every day seemed to be a bad hair day!

(The talc I like to use is Nivea pure fine talc, it smells gorgeous - used to be able to get it in any shop but I can only by it online now , but any fine talc should do, other talcs can be cloggy and leave dandruff.)
Hope this helps
