Dandruff????

kellyjojokellyjojo member
in 1st Trimester

Ever since about 5 weeks pregnant I have had the driest, flakiest scalp I have ever had in my life.  I am doing everything possible to fix this problem, but having no luck.  I am staying away from the super chemical based shampoos, and trying to fix this naturally - no luck.  I take fish oils, drink tons of water, eat well, and shampoo every other day - sometimes 2 if I can.  Anyone have any tips that actually work?

    I had it too, went away around 13 weeks for me.  I didn't find any solutions though-sorry!

    Me too.  Its FINALLY improving.  I wore a lot of ponytails with headbands and hats :(  My lips, nails, and skin are insanely dry too.

    My scalp has been horrible! It's so embarrassing!  My dandruff is at the front of my scalp,  I have found a solution!   I have been putting pure Lanolin cream on my scalp.  It is very sticky and gross but I leave it on for a few hours then wash it out with shampoo.  I do this once a week.  And I swear it is doing miracles for me!  lanolin is safe too!  Good luck!   P.s-  don't smell it if you have a sensitive stomach! It smells like a barn yard animal!  Probably cause it comes from sheeps fur!

    You can also try cococnut oil on the scalp. Natural and safe.
