pregnancy hair! love it or hate it? (my little mini-VENT)

edited March 2013 in Pregnant
What is your hair like when your pregnant? Volumptuous? Oily? Thicker or thinner? Does it change texture (curly to straight or vice versa)? How about from pregnancy to pregnancy?
With my first I loved my hair :) I was growing it long and it was full and shiny, everyday was a perfect hair day without trying. Then after baby it ALL fell out at once it seemed until my hair was thinner than ever in my life. It became unmanageable and lifeless. So when I became pregnant again one thought was " well hey at least I will get my beautiful preggo hair back!" Umm NO! its super long because I've now been growing it out for over 2 years, but this time it's really oily, still too thin, wont hold color for more than a week, and (this is the reason I decided to write this post) I wanted to start curling my hair like I used when it was this long about 5 or 6 years ago. So I bought a super awesome new curling iron and spent a good 45 min curling it, only for every single hair to fall pin straight before I even walk out of the bathroom! Ugh I was so freakin pissed. Curse this pregnancy hair I will never have my gorgeous flowing locks from high school!

  • my hair has been growing like crazy! Also with my first pregnancy my hair color changed.
  • @hope_4_baby _boy my hair does grow fast also i think that has alot to do with the prenatal vitamins. I know that being pregnant slows down the process of shedding hair and that's why women tend to have thicker fuller hair. Idk what's wrong with mine though it's long but so thin and limp I look like I have angel hair pasta on my head lol
  • try different shampoo cause if your hormones are different then so are the things are bodies need which includes hair. Try one for oil scalp since that's what's going on. Theres still hope! don't give up.
  • Omg, I had beautiful, super thick, long, easy to manage hair until after I had several kids. Now it just keeps getting thinner & thinner! :(
  • My hair never changed but I sprouted a fabulous beard that never went away lmao.
  • I've never noticed much of a change. Just faster growth. Still holds curls and color!

    I hated my pregnancy hair. It was so full and would get so greasy. I would curl it and the next minute it would be straight. It was so annoying.
