    I may just be losing my marbles here, but did anyone else notice that their hair changed colour during pregnancy? :eek:


    I've read that your hair texture can change (become thicker, thinner etc) but i am absolutely convinced that my hair has gotten way darker since i've been pregnant. For reference, my hair would have been a light/medium brown naturally fading into a very light blonde (balayage effect). My natural hair is now gone a very dark brown and the blonde has almost gone a light brown colour :confused:


    Obviously it's not the end of the world :D but i'm really curious as to whether this is an actual 'thing'!

    Mine went a bit bonkers after my second pregnancy. I’ve had highlights for years now but my natural hair is a mousey brown. It started to grow a natural highlight from the root, hairdresser couldn’t get over it! It also started reacting differently to bleach so it’s taken a long time to get it back to the colour I like - which has driven me nuts!

    I believe hair colour changes are common enough during and after pregnancy!

    Yes, it does become darker. My hairdresser took a photo of mine to show me the difference as it was much more obvious at the back of my hair. He said he sees it all the time! Hormones I guess!

    Well i'm glad to hear i've not gone totally mad yet :D


    Digs funny you should say yours reacted differently to bleach, i'd been thinking of booking myself in to get it done but i'm thinking it's probably best to leave it now, no point spending all that money if it's going to have a mind of it's own anyway :p
