hairr relaxer

Im 19 wks, 1 day. My hair is fizzy n bare curly. I struggle to brush it. I had a hair cut last month but still i dont feel like doing anythin with it. I wanna cut it very short this time but scared to feel worse after lookin at it. My other option im thinkin of relaxin ma hair but i dont wanna harm the ma baby.  Has anyone relaxed their hair while pregnant???

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but until you figure out what you're going to do, try sprinkling baking soda in your hair when you shampoo it and simply rinse it out with the shampoo. It sounds weird, but it really does help make your hair a bit more manageable and super soft.

Or get sewins theres plenty u can do to hide the new growth..twist, box plaits, if u dnt want a full sewin u can always do leave out with curly hair tho that matches ur texture that way u dnt have to wrry about laying ur new growth, wigs its so much u can do if u dnt wana c ur hair until u birth..but as a stylist idnt put chemicals in pregos hair im against it

I relaxed mine yesterday. I was trying to avoid doing it but edges were so bad and I had a TON of new growth that needed to be taken care of. I got sick of walking around looking like I dont own a brush lol I had to do it.

I'd imagine it would be okay since you can dye your hair while pregnant?  I don't relax my hair so I'm not sure if it's a similar process or...?
