Caring For Your Hair When Pregnant

Being pregnant is an exciting time for the majority of women but it can also have its drawbacks especially when it comes to hair care as this can often behave quite unpredictably and it can often be quite a struggle to maintain it.



It can often be the case that during pregnancy the hair can become quite dry and brittle, which makes it unhealthy to look at and also very difficult to manage. But there are a number of simple steps that you can perform in order to get your hair back into great condition.



One thing that people do not seem to realize and to understand is that the hair is simply an extension to the skin and although the tips of the hair are indeed dead, the roots of the hair are alive and will need to be cared for. It is important that the correct level of care and nourishment be applied and to avoid any deficiencies within the hair such as that of iron.



Deficiencies within the hair can lead to it becoming dry and also very brittle and in some very severe cases it can also lead to hair loss. If you find that you are falling into this group then you may want to seek advice from your doctor.



If you are suffering from dry hair whilst you are pregnant then you need to take the appropriate steps that will allow you to care for your hair without causing any damage to your body, and you need to make sure that you are avoid anything that is chemical based so it does not enter the bloodstream and therefore potentially harm the development of your unborn baby.


Hope this helps hun
