Hair Care During Pregnancy 🤰💇♀️
Pregnancy hormones often make hair thicker, shinier, and fuller—but some women may also notice dryness, frizz, dandruff, or hair fall. Gentle, safe hair care helps maintain healthy hair while protecting both mother and baby.
What’s Normal
• Reduced hair fall due to prolonged hair growth phase
• Increased shine and volume
• Temporary dryness or oiliness depending on hormones
Safe Hair Care Tips
• Mild shampoo & conditioner: Use sulfate-free, gentle products 2–3 times a week.
• Oil massage: Coconut, almond, or olive oil improves scalp circulation and nourishment.
• Balanced diet: Adequate protein, iron, folic acid, and biotin support hair health.
• Gentle handling: Avoid tight hairstyles, excessive heat styling, or rough towel drying.
• Hydration: Drink plenty of water to reduce dryness and breakage.
What to Avoid
• Chemical hair treatments (rebonding, perming, smoothening)
• Strong hair dyes with ammonia (if needed, use ammonia-free after first trimester, with medical advice)
• Excessive heat tools
• Harsh anti-dandruff or medicated shampoos without consultation
Post-Pregnancy Note
Increased hair fall after delivery is common and temporary (postpartum shedding). Hair growth usually normalizes within a few months.
Key Message
Simple care, gentle products, and good nutrition are the best beauty treatments during pregnancy 🌸
When in doubt—always consult your doctor.
