Facial Hair

The increase and fluctuations in your hormones during pregnancy cause all sorts of symptoms and are also to blame for changes in your hair. Not only the hair on your head, but just about everywhere on your body!

Some pregnant women notice an increase in facial hair, particularly near the lips, chin, and cheeks. But you might also see thicker hair on your arms, legs, breasts, back and belly.

There are several safe ways to deal with any new and unwanted hairs:

• waxing
• shaving
• tweezing

Bleaches and depilatory creams are not recommended, as many of these contain chemicals which may affect your baby. It is also best to avoid all laser or light treatments during pregnancy.

Excess pregnancy hair is usually temporary and will disappear after the giving birth, typically within 6 months postpartum. If the hair persists, this may indicate a hormonal imbalance and you should let your health care provider know.

Instead of going to <a href="http://www.cchairextensions.com/hair-weave-weft-c-83.html?SHOP_BY_LENGTH=10">18 inch hair weave</a> an expensive salon and costly products to use some natural ways to maintain your hair perm. Permed hair care, use of these methods. Light hair oil hair lost a lot of natural oils, chemically treated, such as perm. Massage 4-5 drops of light hair oil, such as almond oil into your scalp, then take a bath. You can even take it a day or two better<a href="http://www.cchairextensions.com/micro-loop-hair-extensions-c-2.html">micro loop hair extensions</a> . It will not make your hair look oily, but give it a shiny appearance. It becomes difficult to keep dry and permed hair.
