    I suspect it is the fish oil. They say what you put in, must come out. A lot of what you put in your body comes out in your hair. While having great health benefits, it may be that your hair already had enough natural, healthy oil in it. Adding extra oil (fish oil) is now producing too much oil for your scalp/hair, leaving it greasy. It's one of those things you need to weigh out.

    I do take omega fish oil and I am not pregnant. I do not have oily hair. That doesn't mean that you aren't getting oily hair from the omega fish oil. Everyone is different.
