hair!

Anyone else's hair ridiculously hard to brush now that you're pregnant? I literally have an afro that reaches down to my butt it seems, and it is so unmanageable :(

my hair is usually in a bun. I used to wear it in a pony tail until it got too long and whenever i'd  move my head I'd end up slapping people lol

I have realy thick hair, full curls about waist height. I live in Australia its summer atm. Brushing is a struggle. So its in a bun most of the time.
I got a 2inch undercut. When i let my hair out you cant even notice the undercut.
The best choice ever!

I'm just scared to cut it, but it's ALREADY tangled again.

I had tangles in my hair that she didnt want to deal with. It took 3 hair dressers to comb it out cause I begged them to not cut it off.

Have you tried coconut oil? It works pretty well, and so does mayo, although it has a foul odor. And I wish my mom would hand me her card and tell me to go take care of it lol

Mine Just falls out... :( but I do have a hard time brushing it. I have extremely long hair, like almost down to my butt... LOl (did it for my husband, he likes the long hair lol) But brushing it has become harder... either A, because its always tangled, or b, my arms are so tired after I get done with a 1/4 of it. lol If I was still at home with my mama, I would make her brush my hair. I used to love just sitting on the floor while my mom brushed my hair after a shower. :)

I've never had a problem with knots until I got pregnant. I couldn't stand it so I started to keep a brush in the shower an brushed out my hair when Iput conditioner in it. It's helped a lot
