Has anyone else's hair change drastically from being PG?

Just to give you an idea this was my hair in 2004 before kids and the 2nd one is from Nov. 2007 after 2 kids! I can't believe how much my hair changed for my hormones nad I don't think my curlys are gonna come back, and I miss them. Anyone else?

My hair is the same but falling out like crazy. I was so embarrassed at the hair salon yesterday.

I do remember my cousin saying how her hair changed. She had straight hair and it got wavy after kids.

It's normal for your hair to fall out. Mine fell out from 3-6 months PP. If it is excessive then I think it could be a thyroid problem.

Re: Has anyone else's hair change drastically from being PG?

my hair went predominantly straight after my first child 5 years ago. i just had it cut after 15 months of ponytails... and lo and behold hte curl is back (5 months after my second was born) but its coarser now, and drier than it ever was. but at least i have some curl again.

anyone have any good products to get rid of the frizz or to really put some moistiure back into my hair?

I loved Paul Mitchel slinky smooth I think it was called. (it has green writing on the bottle) and then the same line for gel. The gel is great and doesn' t ever get hard and dry.

Mine was the same after #1, but after/during #2, i lost my wave/curl.

I cut my hair short when i was 4-5 months pg and i love it now. I can't do my hair curly anymore it just waves then goes flat and ick.

I used to be able to wear it curly, then flat iron it if i wanted straight. No more curly for me either.

ETA: You look great btwChat Icon

Re: Has anyone else's hair change drastically from being PG?

Yes, it has , before pg I had nice wavy almost curly hair , while pg much thicker, after I had the baby it started falling out I thought I was going bold, now it's not falling out as much and there is baby hair coming out , the worst part is that it's not wavy any more, but it's not straight either, it's just there, weird texture and unless I use curling or straightening iron(which I don't have time for) it looks limp,dry and lifeless, good thing I have very black hair so it looks shiny if it's freshly washedChat Icon Chat Icon I WANT MY OLD HAIR BACK, MY OLD BODY BACK, MY SMOOTH SKIN BACK, MY SMALL FEET BACK, can't believe how much being pregnant changes you.Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Love your hair, it's beautiful!

Yes, I posted recently. My color has completely changed. I'm naturally blonde, and it has become so much darker since being pregnant & having DD. It's brassy now, I hate it. I miss my lighter, healthier-looking hair Chat Icon

Yes, mine did, but its not as noticeable, except to me. I lost a ton after having DD, because on top of pp hairloss, I was sick with a kidney infection and was on lots of med. It grew back in very wavy and kinky, and there are parts of my hairline at my temple that have really receded Chat Icon

Well you can see I cut and for me to straighten it is easy if I knew how to do it. Straighten long curly hair is completely different then doing short wavy hair. The only thing I can think of (which I have an appointment for in 2 weeks Chat Icon ) is cutting a layer cut to help with the wave. I am hoping this is the solution and I think I am going to grow it out a little.

My hair has gotten a lot thicker and wavier. I actually miss my thinner, straight hair. I finally cut it short so I didn't have to deal with it.
