Take care of your hair during pregnancy

During pregnancy, the hair changes. Most of us are lucky to have denser hair, less fat, easier to style, more beautiful, in short: radiant with life. This is unfortunately sometimes the opposite for some unlucky ones who experience a loss of volume, health and shine. How to pamper them as it should? Madam President tells you everything.

Hair care to adopt

That your hair is sublimated or worn out, the different changes that occur during the pregnancy require a change in your care routine.

And it's not because they look healthier that we have to forget to maintain them! Choose your treatments according to the nature of your hair (see our article choose your shampoo). Of shea for dry hair, soft masks to calm the sebaceous glands oily hair that produces excess sebum. Also choose gentle care if you have normal hair.

Opt for a the most natural mild shampoo possible, to do every other day to enhance the shine of the hair. Then apply a detangling conditioner, this will make styling easier.

Attention to deficiencies

Hair is a good indicator of general health. Often when one has deficiencies, stress or fatigue, we quickly observe hair that becomes flagada or that falls in mass. During pregnancy, these effects are less visible, but that does not mean that everything is perfect.

A color?

Of course, you know that pregnancy and color do not mix! Whatever happens, it is better to avoid applying any chemical when you are pregnant (and even when you are not pregnant!). So we go organic or homemade cosmetics!

If you want to make a color and after discussion with your gynecologist, he sees no objections, better to entrust your head to a hairdresser, telling him that you are pregnant. Thus, he can perform the assays in function and use vegetable colors, which are less aggressive. Be careful though, because during pregnancy, the hair can react in a strange way, with sometimes surprising color results (and not in a good way)

In all cases, avoid multiplying the treatments, because they weaken the hair fiber, and you may end up with damaged hair after childbirth. Above all, be sure to take care of the colored hair.

After pregnancy

There is little thought, but it may be wise to anticipate during pregnancy almost inevitable postpartum hair loss! Yes, when pregnancy hormone levels fall, their benefits fall with them.

Do not worry, it's normal and very common. Things usually return to normal after a few weeks, sometimes a few months if you are breastfeeding.

That said, to limit breakage upstream, make regular hair scrubs : the more stimulated your scalp is, the more fertile ground for your hair, which will not want to be a trunk.

Once baby in the arms and the breastfeeding done, make a cure of 3 months of Resolution N ° 1 to help them pass the course of hormonal upheaval! Your hair, skin and nails will thank you 🙂

It's your turn ! ?
