Does anyone here take omega 3 fish oil? I have a question concerning my hair?

Since taking these omega 3's my hair is super oily i wash my hair with shampoo twice and dont condition the roots daily and about an inch of hair from the roots down is oily my hair has never been oily like this before so im wondering if anyone else experienced this same effect when taking these vitamins im also 40 weeks pregnant so it could be hormones but it never happened with my 2 other children please anybody who has takin this vitamin give me some info!!! Thanks

    This is my first pregnancy so Im not sure if it's my vitamins or just the hormones, but I take a prenatal that has omega 3 fish oil and I notice by the end of the day my hair is real oily, and if I blow dry it after the shower it is also. I;ve found that if I only use shampoo every other day it helped reduce the oil. Hope this helps.

    look online, use a search engine b/c I was wondering about omega 3s today & found it's common even in ppl that aren't preg.

    you might need to lessen the dose, esp after the baby's born.
