can your hair darken during pregnancy?

I googled, but only came up with skin darkening.  I was at the hair dresser yeterday and she and I both saw a distinct line about an inch out from my roots where my hair was at least a shade darker, with it coming in lighter at the roots. 

I've never dyed my hair, so has anyone ever expirenced this?

Not the darkening, but my hair did weird things during pregnancy and post partum.  My hair was always baby fine......it's now slightly course and frizzy post partum.  Blech.

YES!  Mine has gotten darker, for sure!  It used to be a dark blond and is now definitely a light brown - it's a couple shades darker for sure. 

My friend had super straight hair pre-pregnancy and pregnancy turned her hair super curly!  Anything is possible with all those hormones!

My sister's did. She used to be a light golden brown and now it is much darker.?

My hairdresser said that my hair texture could definitely change after/during pregnancy.  I bet color could too.

dunno, but i am SHOCKED that you have never colored your hair. you have such a pretty shade, i always just assumed it was dyed. huh. go figure.

Mine did! ?Even my mom swears that I dye my hair a dark brown now, and I don't. ?It changed that much. ?Of course you can tell I don't dye it by the several grays cropping up everywhere--ugh!!

My PG brain is out of control.  I totally thought your title was "can you darken your hair during pregnancy" and I FLIPPED THE EFF OUT because I thought you were PG again.

pregnancy definitely made my hair darker. and, i've only ever had gray hairs while pregnant (3 of them).

Definitely yes! Mine used to be fairly light blonde naturally and now it's really dark dirty blonde/very light brown. And just at the roots - so it looked like I really bleached it blonde!
