Pregnancy is one of the most beautifully complex seasons of life that a woman can experience. There’s a magic in acknowledging that there is a tiny human growing inside of you. That growth brings with it a pregnancy glow and a host of changes. Your body blooms. You have new cravings. You go about your entire life differently. It should come as no surprise that pregnancy will likely change your hair as well. We’re sharing some of the changes that you may encounter, but remember that every woman’s pregnancy journey is different.

During pregnancy

Many women experience increased hair growth during their pregnancy, so enjoy the extra progress towards your hair length goals. Stay diligent in using our Iconic Hair Growth Duo to boost the growth that’s already happening.

Know that you’ll probably be more tired than usual. If you style your own hair, you might not be able to keep up with your normal routine. Protective styles will be your best friend during pregnancy. They’ll help you retain length and get a little bit more of that much needed rest.

Don’t be surprised if your hair texture changes over pregnancy. Your coils could tighten or loosen. Your hair could get thicker or thin out. Welcome the changes as they come. It’s all part of welcoming your little one into the world.

After pregnancy

The changes don’t stop after birth. Your body is still adjusting to your role as a mom. There’s a good chance that you’ll experience some shedding, and your hair’s texture might transform yet again. The changes that you experience are all dependent on your body and can be affected by factors like breastfeeding.

Think of this time as an opportunity to fall in love with your hair all over again. Use this period of acclimation to a new texture as an excuse to give yourself a little extra love. You’re so busy caring for your baby, that you may find it difficult to invest in you. Treat yourself to a relaxing treatment of our Protein Masque. You could play your favorite album and maybe even put on a face mask, too. That 15- 30 minutes of you time will do wonders for your hair and for your psyche.
