my hair!

Ever since I been pregnant my hair is completely ruined! I have split ends like no other. It's unbelievably dry and it is not growing! Same thing happened with my first baby. Ugh I already had to get 2 inches cut off. And am trying to grow it out. I was bra strap length, now I'm armpit length again. :( and I will have to go get it cut again because my ends are horrendous again!! It makes me want to cry. Lol I know it's just hair but I want it to grow out.

Then use a mixture of an egg yolk and 1/3 cup of mayo... Leave in your hair for 20 min, then rinse it and shampoo and conditioner your hair ... If it is greasy after then xnay the mayo. But rinse with cooler water so it doesn't cook the egg

I can't afford my hair salon that much! :( but it's just terrible, I hate that my hair is breaking!! I'm trying everything know. Pre pregnancy I would get my ends trimmed every 6 weeks. Now I have to do it every month it blows!

Go to a salon and get a treatment done once every 2 weeks, it will help a lot and get a trim every 3 weeks, it may get expensive so if you have a beauty school near you go there it's quite a bit cheaper that way, if you don't trim your hair every 3-6 weeks your split ends split to your roots and keep your hair from growing and the treatment will put moisture back into your hair and help it grow quicker. And they can personalize it weather your hair needs moisture, color guard, if It's curly ect.

Pregnant with 2nd boy and my hair is long. I do have split ends but its still long like 2/3 of my back. I don't lose moisture so I don't think the sex of the baby is relevant. The thing I do remember is I would clog up our bath tub after I had my 1st because my hair would shed so bad for like 5 months after birth I think.

My hair hasn't grown thought it would w the vitamins :( false. Then again before I found out I was pregnant I would bleech my hair and stuff so maybe that has something to do w it.

Installs supposed to help but I guess not for everybody. Plus I geared that after you deliver your hair sheds a ton more for 6 weeks to 3 months :( my fiancé will die if that happens.

Yes! That us a lot of hair to cut. I'm citing as it gets bad so I will probably have to cut that much by the end of my pregnancy. I had 2 inches cut in November, and now I need another inch cut already! It's sad. Nothing keeps it moisturized and my fiancé does not like when my hair isn't long so this is torture. My mom says it means I'm having a girl.... But that's so not true because it happened the first time and I had a boy

My hair feels like it keeps falling out. :/ its dry and blah. It feels like its not even growing. I thought the prenatal vitamins would help it grow but not really all it does is fall out and dry out. Hope it goes back to normal

Omg. Me too. Makes me sad because with my last two pregnancies my hair was so healthy and grew like wild flowers. Lol this time it's not growing at all and is dry and my ends are split really high. My hair is Past the mIddle of my back But I'll need to cut at least 6-8 inches off for it to be healthy again... NOW THAT makes me want to cry.
