2nd Trimester
my hair is weird...anyone else?
So I have always had really soft easily managable hair...the past month or so my hair feels like horses hair after I shower and then try to brush it out...it also seems to be growing in much darker...anyone else have the same situation...my mom says that having a baby can change your hair...fact or fiction ? O btw I am 27 weeks

Re: my hair is weird...anyone else?
My hair is naturally curly, thick, and soft. HOWEVER, now that I'm pregnant, my already THICK hair is even more thick because my hair isn't shedding anymore. I can literally wash my hair after a few days and 4 strands of hair will fall out. It's ridiculous and unruly.
Pre-pregnancy, my hair would shed enormous amounts, but it's so thick and I have so much hair, that it didn't matter. Now, when I sweep my floor, there's no hair to sweep up. I can't wait until I shed all of this extra hair. GEEZ...straightening it with a flatiron takes forever.
YES!
I am African American, and I usually get a relaxer to strighten my hair out, but since I am pregnant, I don't want to put all those chemicals in my hair, My hair is so frizzy, it is very unmanagable, it is thick...it is just a HOT MESS. That is why I am going to go get extenstions this weekend, so that I can still look nice, but my real hair will be protected!
Awesome decision on not putting that relaxer on your hair right now. My mom is a hairdresser, and the most she will do to a pregnant woman's hair (chemically) is color it. (most colors these days are gentle) If you relax your hair or perm it while pregnant (regardless of ethnicity), it can fry, and/or fall out. Granted, that's a worst-case scenario, but still not a risk I'd take!
My hair has changed texture too. It's always been thick, but it used to be pretty sleek... wavy, but easily straightened. Now, it's coarse, and my wavy hair has turned into crazy curly frizz. It takes twice the time to fix now. The bad news? There's not guarantee that our hair will return to "normal" after delivery. We all might just be stuck with this new stuff. (eek!)

It's sad, but true. With my first my hair got really full and silky when I was pregnant then after I delivered I went from having slighty wavy hair to curly hair. This pregnancy my hair is even more curly, very dry, and falls out easily. Crazy what hormones can do to you!!!!

Oh yeah, as soon as I found out I was pregnant, I said oh no, I can't put any chemicals in my hair that strong. The extensions will be great in the long run! My hair now is a mess! It's very coarse now when the texture of my hair before pregancy was not that bad.
I am glad you posted this. I have very thick curly hair that's been getting more unmanageable lately. I was thinking of getting a brazillian blowout, because I've gotten them before (pre-pregnancy) and really liked the results. But if it means risking my hair going toally nutso, then no way!
