3rd Trimester

Oily hair near end of pregnancy

Before pregnancy I had oily hair. Then when I became pregnant I only had to wash 2x a week because my hair was so dry. I'm due in 5 weeks and my hair is oily again. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this normal? My little girl is almost 8 and it's to long ago to remember.

  • My hair has become less oily since I've been pregnant. Maybe your body is just getting ready to go back to normal.
  • Hormones, my dear.

  • Yes!! Mine just started feeling oily! Due in 6 weeks!
  • My hair was so nasty and oily in the beginning. I had to use tea tree oil shampoo to make it manageable and less gross. As I have progressed in my pregnancy my hair has gone back to normal. Hormones....fun stuff.

    Yup! Dry shampoo is your friend. I'm still in second tri, but I've changed my shampoo and conditioner and it is helping. This is my third pregnancy and my hair texture and oil/dryness has changed each time. It's not fun to keep up with or figure out how to manage. Good luck!

  • Yup mine just changed back to 1st trimester oil levels. I had a nice break for a bit when my hair was nice and normal but it's switched again.
  • I am literally washing my hair with baking soda...
  • Paul Mitchell tea tree shampoo (the one that says "special" on the bottle) is amazing! I never had oily hair till pregnancy. Its worth the extra money if your oily hair is making you nuts. I wash my hair 2x a week since I started using it.
