I swear, since becoming pregnant my hair is eternally clean. I used to be a solid every-other-day hair washer. After two days it would be on the greasy side and need to be washed. My hair never gets like that anymore! The only reason I wash it is so I can blow it dry and straighten it again. I was expecting the opposite!
I've weaned my hair down to only needing to be washed once a week. Took about a year, but now it only gets greasy looking after 7-8 days. Better for my scalp bc I used to have a really flakey scalp.
Completely opposite- gets greasier sooner but I also love showers and I take 2 usually a day and wash my hair every other day now sometimes everyday. Although I do want to try the no poo at some point...
My hair used to get greasy everyday but now I can go 2-3 days before washing it. And also I can go a week and a half without a shaving my legs whereas before I needed to shave everyday... However the only thing the growth of my hair has slowed down a lot!! Not a fan of that.
I envy you! Even after I wash my hair I have to carry some dry shampoo in my purse just in case.
What kind do you carry? I have the Bed Head one and I really don't like it that much...
I use Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo but it is a tad pricey. I've noticed Pantene's Volumizing one is just as good (and smells better!) at a fraction of the cost.
I just rubbed lotion in the ends of my hair because it's so dead, uh, I mean dry... Ya. Let's be honest, I haven't gotten my hair professionally cut since January '13. I can't blame pregnancy on that.
Same here. I've forgotten a few times to shower as frequently as I usually do because my hair was always a constant reminder when I could not go more than 48 hours without washing my hair.
It’s not that I don’t like you, it’s that I don’t know you. Stranger Danger.
I still have to wash my hair everyother day. Early on in pregnency I had to wash my hair everyday. I also need to shave more and get the hair off my chin.
I have definitely noticed that I can skip more days. I used to wash it every day except for maybe one day of the weekend, but now I can consistently do it every other.
Christinaruth74 I'm soooo with you on needing a cut! I'm hoping to get a nice cut and maybe color before LO comes since it'll probably be a while again after he's born that I can go back.
Re: I never need to wash my hair
Same here! I wash mine every other day still just because I love how my shampoo smells...
I may be sore all over and have acid in my throat, but I've got gorgeous hair lol
I've also found that I need to shave less. Like I can go over a week without shaving my legs. Not complaining.
