My scalp has gone super flaky and itchy ever since i got pregnant, im in my second trimester. Scared to use my usual anti dandruff shampoo now as it has strong chemicals. What did you mommies use that was safe?
Beta a simple thing, warm coconut oil with a few drops of lemon massaged gently and washed off after an hour used to work in our time. Keep it light. If scalp gets very flaky or sore, then do consult the doctor for a safe shampoo.
No need for expensive treatments honestly. Curd, regular gentle washing and not scratching the scalp did the job for me. If you must buy a shampoo, just ask your gynac quickly which ingredients are safe so you dont waste money on the wrong one.
Hormones make dandruff worse for a lot of us. I stuck to gentle methods like a little curd or aloe on the scalp before wash and mild regular shampooing. If its very heavy or itchy with flakes everywhere, do ask a doctor before using any medicated shampoo.
Pregnancy hormones do this. Wash hair a bit more often with a mild shampoo and oil the scalp lightly before. Avoid heavy chemical anti dandruff stuff without checking, some ingredients are better avoided now. Confirm with your derm if its stubborn.
