1. Combing. Avoid combing hair when it is wet. Let your hair dry naturally, or use a hair dryer at medium heat. Comb it using a wide-toothed comb when dry. This will help avoid hair fall.
2. Regular Hair Trims. Your hair goes through different changes during pregnancy, causing a difference in hair texture and thickness. A good idea is to go for a regular hair trim that will help avoid split ends or rough ends. A new style is also a great mood enhancer!
3. Hair Massage. Oil your hair at least three to four times a week. Using natural hair oils is a great way to add some nourishment to your hair. Opt for oils that have healthy ingredients like olive, coconut, almond, jojoba, castor and the like. Heat up the oil slightly, making sure it is not too hot, but just warm. Massage this through the scalp and hair.
4. Shampoo and Conditioning. Make sure you use a shampoo at least once to twice a week. Use a mild shampoo, or better still, use a shampoo that is herbal. Apply a conditioner every time you wash your hair. Pay special attention to the tips of the hair to avoid dry or split ends.
5. Balanced Diet. Everything that you eat now will help nurture your baby, as well as give your body the strength it needs to go through the changes. A balanced diet is important to provide nourishment to your hair as well. Include milk, fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, lentils, grains, dry fruits and other such ingredients in your daily diet. Check with your doctor to find out if there are certain food items that you should stay away from during pregnancy.
