One of the good parts of being pregnant is that you’re supposed to get this amazingly thick, shiny, beautiful hair<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My hair gets flat and greasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When I’m pregnant, I can shampoo my hair TWICE but after I’m done blow-drying it, the crown of my head looks like the place where someone spit out the remnants of their oil pulling<\/a> experiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While I was pregnant with my second child, I told myself I just had to make it to six weeks postpartum, and everything would be back to normal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Six weeks rolled by, then three months. Four, five, six…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still<\/strong> a greasy postpartum mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I tried using more shampoo, which seemed to make it worse. Less shampoo didn’t have an effect. Then I tried five different shampoos—some mainstream and some natural and one perfectly organic, fair-trade, shade-grown brand whose cost rivaled a month of daycare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the same reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gross feeling hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So I turned to my good buddy Google.<\/p>\n\n\n
