My hair... anyone have the same issue?

So the first trimester my hair was moisturized and healthy. Now that I'm past the first trimester,  16 +2 days, my hair is dry and ends are terrible. I get hormones play a role but this is terrible!  My curls look terrible. I've tried moisturizers But nothing seems to help!

Anyone having similar problems and what else can I do?

I don't know the sex yet... I find out in the middle of July. But it sounds like maybe it's a girl, based on what everyone has said. Thanks ladies. I will try the ideas mentioned. Congratulations and good luck :)

Is it really our beautiful baby girls causeing all this dryness. Not very nice of them. Lol....I didn't know the baby gender would make a difference but from all these post baby girls seem to dry your hair out.

Eating more fat will help. Try fish oil and coconut oil in your food or as a supplement.

Same here - 17 weeks with a baby girl (no 2) and my hair is TERRIBLE! Bone dry and lifeless and falling out like crazy. Its a miracle I'm not bald. I have been using pure organic argan oil for the last 2 weeks and it doesn't seem to be making any difference. With my first daughter my hair was amazing!

I have been having the same problem, I am trying coconut oil, castor oil, jojoba oil, and avocado oil in a mixture this week to see if it helps. I also want to try and avocado and honey mask. I found these ideas on pinterest. I like a natural approach to hair care so I have been using some of these products before but never all together in a mixture. I hope this can help and that you share anything that works for you

Hormones have alot to answer to. My hair is completely dry and falls out alot. Thankfully I've got alot of it. With my son my hair was silky, grew long and thick but with my daughter and this pregnancy which is also a girl my hair is shocking. I just put a deep conditioning treatment on once a week and leave it for a couple of hours. Make sure I eat well and drink plenty. Other than that we have just got to ride it out xx
