Hair care during pregnancy

Pregnancy is a stage that is full of changes and transformations in the woman’s body, and hair is no exception. During these months, it is common to notice that hair can become thicker, brighter and stronger but also, it can become brittle and prone to falling out. Keeping healthy and strong hair during pregnancy requires special attention and a different approach to the care we normally take. Below, we tell you how you can protect and maintain your hair with this hair care during pregnancy.

Hair care tips for pregnancy

One of the main things you need to consider is how hormonal changes will affect your hair. During pregnancy, estrogen increases prolong the hair growth phase, which means that it is less likely to fall out. However, after childbirth, when hormone levels return to normal, it is common to experience more noticeable hair loss.

To prevent hair loss and keep your mane strong, it is essential to use hairdressing products that are specifically formulated for the postpartum and avoid especially aggressive ingredients such as sulfate and alcohol.

It is also important to have a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals that promote hair health. Nutrients like iron, vitamins and zinc are essential to strengthen the hair from the root.

Complementing these care with natural beauty treatments, such as masks made of avocado or coconut oil, will provide you with extra hydration that your hair will appreciate.

Common hair care mistakes during pregnancy

It’s easy to fall for some common hair care mistakes during pregnancy, either by ignorance or by following the wrong recommendations. One of these mistakes is excessive use of heat tools such as dryers, irons and curling irons. These tools damage the structure of hair, leaving it more prone to breakage and weakening its natural resistance.

Another common mistake is not being aware of the changes that our scalp shows. During pregnancy, hair can become drier or more greasy than usual, so it’s important to adapt your hair to hairdressing products that meet the needs of your scalp. Look for products that offer a gentle cleansing and respect the aspects of your hair.
