Dry Scalp?

So ever since I've become pregnant, I've noticed that my scalp has become so dry that it makes it look so flakey!

Has anybody else experienced or is experiencing this problem? If so, what do you recommend?

I actually did change both shampoo and conditioner already but still seems the same. Ughhh I hate it, it honestly makes me feel as if all anybody sees are the flakes on my head, soooo unattractive lol
But thank you ladies for the advice, greatly appreciated (:

I have dry everything! Just be careful about using medicated shampoos. Some might not be the best for pregnant women. I'm avoiding using things with peppermint as well now that I'm in the third trimester. It has a risk of interfering with milk production. I'm not sure how likely that is, but I'd rather not risk it.
