I’m a hairdresser and I can tell when you’re pregnant AND when you’ve just given birth
EXPECTING a child is something extremely exciting for many parents, but some mums-to-be may find the changes to their body challenging to deal with.
We’ve all heard of the pregnancy glow, but expecting a child can bring other changes to our bodies that some people may not be aware of.
Now hairdressers have revealed that pregnancy and giving birth can cause changes to your hair.
Hairdressers explained that when you are pregnant, the hormonal changes in your body make your hair look stronger, thicker and shinier.
The experts at explained that many women find that their hair changes a great deal during pregnancy.
While some may find it’s in its best ever condition, others may find it changes unrecognisably.
“However, it is not that the hair is growing longer than usual or thicker than usual.
“What happens is that during pregnancy hair remains in a resting phase (in normal situations, between 85 and 95 per cent of our hair is growing), which causes it to fall out less.”

The experts advised that some pregnant women will not notice any drastic changes to their hair and those with long hair will notice changes the most.
They continued: “You should also be aware that your hair will change again when your baby is born.
"After you give birth (about 12 weeks after delivery), your hormones will go back to what they were and more hair will start to fall out (don't be alarmed if it falls out more than usual).”
“Sometimes, no matter how religiously you shampoo after pregnancy, it just goes back to oily roots and unruly dehydrated ends.
“Sometimes we find our new mamas in the salon have found the texture of their hair has changed as well.
