Greasy hair?

Ever since week 4/5 iv had super greasy hair. I use to be able to wash my hair every other day but i cant now. I wash it every day and its still gross. I feel smelly because of it. Not to mention greasy face which iv never had before either. Anyone else have this? What can i do for my hair?

Re: Greasy hair?

  • My hair is weird too! I normally have extremely dry hair and my hair dresser prefers I got 3-4 days between washes but lately it's getting greasy the next day, totally not typical for me. It has grown quite a bit so I'm wondering if it's all the weight as I have extremely thick hair too. I'm scheduling a cut soon so hoping to talk it over with my stylists to see if she recommends any products to help. I haven't experienced this during any of my other pregnancies.

  • I'm having issues with this too, but dry shampoo (or baby powder) has really been working for me.
  • Mine is actually the complete opposite. I can go days now between washes!
  • I have normally thick, curly hair. There's a ton of it, but ever since I found out I was pregnant my hair has been shedding and greasy.
    I've changed shampoos, gone lighter on the conditioner (which I could never do before) and attempted to wash it more than once a day, which makes my hair frizzy and wild.
    Ugh, it's a mess.
    My nails look fabulous though!

    This exactly.
  • I was also gonna say, dry shampoo for the win!

  • My hair and face have felt extra greasy too! I can't tell if it's the horrible heat and humidity we've been having or a fun symptom of pregnancy. I feel like I need to wash my face 5 times a day!!

  • Anybody have dry shampoo good for brunette:?

    I use Oscar Blandi. My hair is dark brown.
  • I really like the Paul Mitchell dry wash as well as the Toni & Guy. I have found that any nicer/salon brand dry shampoo is not going to be white (which I"m assuming is the difficulty with being brunette!)
