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.
