Shampoo Woes

in 2nd Trimester

I used to have thick hair. But in the past year so, due to genetics or thyroid, not really sure which, I have lost some on top. Boo! Surprisingly, prenatal vitamins and pregnancy really haven't helped hair growth. Although, I haven't noticed anymore loss. 

Therefore, I didn't think it was noticeable until the lady at Supercuts pointed it out. Last time I go there. I was just desperate for a haircut. We moved a month and half ago across the country and I haven't found a new hair stylist.

Anyways, she suggested this shampoo called Nioxin. Do any of you use it? Do you know if it is safe during pregnancy?  

I know I should probably call the OB office. Eventually I will but I wanted to hear from you ladies first. Thank you!

    I decided to not use it after doing my own research. Hopefully, I can take it back to the store. 

    Thank you for the tips though.

    I will ask about biotin at the OB's office. If I can't take an extra supple
