What happened to my hair???

With my first pregnancy my hair was so pretty and thick and silky and any other good adjective you could think of for hair. I'm 9w in and my hair is so gross and stringy and dry and dull ughhhhh. Do I need to change prenatals or something?? I know every pregnancy is different, but geez. I want my beautiful pregnancy hair!!!

Try changing shampoo? Worked for me this pregnancy! Good luck

I had issues with my hair being extremely dry and dull and it turned out to be my thyroid having issues. I'm not by any means saying that this is the same thing happening to you, BUT if you haven't had your blood tests done, it could be a possibility. As soon as I started taking my meds, I got my beautiful hair back. If this is just a normal pregnancy symptom, then I don't think there's much you can do as far as what prenatals you're taking.

Was your first a boy?  If so, this could mean girl.  Total OWT, but I read that hair with boys gets silky and thick.  With girls, stringy and dull.

Or, you know, different shampoo/conditioner could be in order.

I'm experiencing the same thing; with my first (DD) my hair was AWESOME. This time, I want to shave my head and buy a wig. I've tried changing my shampoo, conditioner, and pre-natals, started using hair styling products, and got my hair cut/styled. The biggest helps were the cut (I cut off 6 inches) and the product (I started using a hydrating hair oil on my ends). Based on my experience, those would be my suggestions, but I kind of suspect that the only real "fix" is delivering baby and waiting for your hormones to even out Good luck to you!
