dandruff...really!?

So I am a little over 6 weeks and am so annoyed with my hair right now. It has all of the sudden decided to be really greasy if I dont wash it every day and also I now have flakes!!! Have any of you experienced this as a symptom? I have started using some maleluca oil to help but it is so annoying and gross! I dont always have time to shower everyday because of having  2 and 1 year old and a busy schedule and it has never been an issue...now I feel icky if I dont have one every day.

Yip been pretty good about the water intake. I have to drink a lot to feel well...it is just so icky. Lol! Havent tried watwr free but might have to. I know it is the hormones but I have never had this symptom. With my other two my hair was amazing! Maybe a sign that this will be my girl since we have 2 boys hehehe...a girl can hope right?

Yep, happened to me.  How hydrated are you? Early on it is probably just a hormonal surge... but they told us at my birth class that water intake is responsible for your hair/scalp/nail/skin health during pregnancy.  4L a day will help.  I had terrible giant flakes in the beginning.   Water helps, promise.

The only other thing I can think of besides what you tried is for you to use water free shampoo.
