Is your hair changing in pregnancy?

My roots are definitely darkening. Super weird and dramatic, though I don't mind. I've been dying it darker for years.

What about you?

    Mine has for sure. I've always had stick straight hair and now it's kind of wavy and I have several pieces in the back and on the underside that are total corkscrew curls. My mom used to have straight hair but with every baby she got more curls. She has ringlets now so I guess that's what will happen to me as well. So bizarre!

    Definitely drier, same as last pregnancy. I can actually go a day or two in between washing it- in normal life, I have to wash it everyday (or break out the dry shampoo). It's a welcomed change!
    I've noticed this recently too!  I was able to NOT wash my hair twice this week... getting ready for work in the morning took half the time.  Definitely not complaining.  I've also noticed that it's even more wavy than usual; once I straighten it, I'm usually set for the day.  Lately, I've noticed that it's getting kinky at the top toward the afternoon.

    Mine is a drier, in a good way, and yet really shiny and soft and haven't had to use conditioner hardly at all. Its way more manageable and growing so nicely! I love it! Oh, and its a lot less frizzy. :)

    Less dry - and I'm not losing nearly as much hair as I used to!  It feels thicker.

    Mine was super oily first tri, but second tri it's super dry - and has grown more than two inches in the last two months!

    my hair has always been super thin & pin straight. It's becoming thick, which would be great but I don't know how to do it now!!

    Mine is straighter, thicker and shinier... which is nice because last time it was SO oily. I would shower in the morning, and look like I worked out all day when I got home at night.

    It's kind of nice, lol.

    I've gotten more grey hairs as well! Didn't correlate it to being pregnant though. And it's still falling out.. So everything else is pretty much the same.

    I have really bad dandruff. And I never have dandruff. It sucks. I haven't gotten around to dying my hair again yet and I just realized that I've got grays, I think they were caused by my second child. He has been such a handful at 2 compared to my first. Lol.

    All of this! My mom swears her hair was straight before kids, and now it's curly. I've noticed that my hair is oilier, grows faster, and is more wavy than before. It used to be very, very straight and would even dry straight when wet, but now it seems to be getting more texture. I don't really mind though!

    Waaaay oilier. If i don't spend a long time under hot water it will feel like I have a big soapy spot on my head when my hair dries but it's not soap :( 

    I used to be a hair dye junky and only washed my hair once or twice a week (yes I bathe more often than hat) and now I can't do that. 
    Mine has done that too!!! That super annoying, almost greasy spot on the top-back of my head! I changed shampoo and it helped TONS! I hope it stays away now!

    Haven't noticed a change in consistency, only that my hair grows like crazy now. Since my head hair is long to begin with I don't notice it there so much, but legs, underarms and... other places... Yikes!

    Still waiting for those luscious locks that everyone else seems to get while pregnant!  My hair is a disaster anyway, so I'm not too hopeful!
