Itchy scalp during pregnancy?!

[KariAnn22]

I am 31 weeks pregnant and have had a super itchy scalp for the past few weeks. I used a different conditioner then it started itching. I only used it once and switched to head and shoulders to see if it was dandruff but it hasn't gotten any better. What could be causing this? It's driving me insane?!

Its probably due to pregnancy you dont loose as much hair as normal so it feels like your hair is getting thicker throughout pregnancy and then after baby all the hair you would have lost comes out.. Also could be all the pregnancy hormones and prenatals grow out in your hair. Try a sulfate free shampoo and cond. Because you already have a lot goin on with your scalp you dont need wax build up for a cheaper product.  Btw tea tree is amazing.. The mintyness with relieve your scalp itch, reduce any flakes and still leave your hair clean and shiny.  Not only am I pregnant so I can relate but hair is my career :)

I'm only 6 weeks but lately my scalp has been SUPER itchy. I had no idea it could have anything to do with being pregnant

Thank you! I just bought selsun blue shampoo and a hydrocortisone cream used for itchy scalps. So hopefully this will work!!

I'm wondering the samething!!! I thought I wAs The only one that had this problem lol....but putting a little warm olive oil on my scalp really his helped me.....and also mixing one part castor oil to two parts olive oil and applying that to my scalp one a week has help me A great great deal....I put it in a little bottle like you would use for hair dye and apply just a little to my scalp once a week......also I wAs my hair once weekly....hope this helps :)
