Meets Amy Burkett, MD, Ohio, USA.

In truth, there are no studies that have confirmed these fears. However, I share the concerns of those pregnant women who are always worried about any changes in your body during gestation. I was embarrassed in colors that most of them contain formaldehyde, which is carcinogenic. And I would advise to stay away from the formaldehyde. And not just for pregnant women.

The structure of the hair is not a constant. Natural straight hair suddenly can become wavy. This is due to diet, intake of various drugs, a way of life. Although the hair - it's actually a dead body, but the roots of the hair and scalp - no. Drugs affect the strength of the roots of the hair and may result in waviness and hair discoloration. For example, everyone knows what changes resulting chemotherapy. From the change of color before complete hair loss. Stress, hormonal changes can also transform your hair from the dense to the weak, and vice versa. During pregnancy many notice a particular thickness and silky hair.
