Hair changes

Since being pregnant I have noticed my scalp has become REALLY flaky and itchy. The dandruff is so noticeable too! My partner also pointed out how many grey hairs I have now, I used to be a lot blonder and had been for a while until I fell pregnant and went back to my natural colour for ease when the baby comes. But now I feel like I need to have my hair done all the time with the amount of grey hair I have. I am 27 years old, never noticed a lot of grey hair until now. And my natural colour is dark brunette - anyone else experience these changes during pregnancy? Or am I just ageing quickly 😂

For me this is my third pregnancy, and I’m definitely noticing a crazy amount of gray hair on one side of my head that I’ve only started noticing since the beginning of my pregnancy. I’ve had some strands of gray hair before, but it definitely doubled within a couple of months. I’ve heard it happens if your iron is low, and mine is definitely low, I’m scheduled for infusions. Does anyone know, or have heard if the hair can go back to normal color or grow back as it was pre pregnancy with proper nutrition and vitamins? I really hope my hair can miraculously grow back it’s original color, because I am not ready to start accepting my gray hair at 28

My hair atm is an absolute state. I have baby hairs galore from last pregnancy, dryer for sure, hair colour doesn't stay for as long as ia growing more quickly. I also noticed after my last pregnancy that my once dead straight hair is wavy af on one side at the back. And now I'm pregs again it's just wavy all over. Hairdresser told me this is all completely normal, and all hair can respond differently to pregnancy hormones x

@Hester 😂😂😂 I have the opposite. I can’t bloody hide mine, my hair is so dark you can spot them from a mile away!!

My normally greasy hair had completely dried up, which I'm actually very happy about! I haven't been checking for greys, though. I think I'll stay in a state of denial about that one 😂
