Dying your hair?

Is dying your hair safe while your pregnant?  I heard that it's ok to do highlights since they don't go all the way to the scalp and I also heard it's ok to fully dye your hair in your second and third trimester.  I keep forgetting to ask my doctor and I don't see him again for another 4 weeks and I need to do something with myself!  What do you guys think about it?

My OB told me it was ok, but that was in 2004 when I was pregnant with my first child. He told me to be sure it was at a salon and well ventilated. I would definitely ask your doctor before doing it. Maybe write down questions before you go for your appointment. Good luck!

Yes. Good ventilation though. Also know your hormones MAY make the color change.

I been into salons and doctor usually they tell me to wait because even doe you dont react to it from outside it can cause problems for you and the baby inside.. am pregnant right now and been wanting to do it.. but am gonna wait. I have seen other pregnant girls do it and they cant stand the chemicals they put on them.

I've always colored my hair during pregnancy & been fine.. Some people do it some people say its not worth the risks. If you think about it.. stylists don't quit their job while they are pregnant. I would make sure you're in a well ventilated area though if you are doing it yourself.

Its fine so long as you are in a ventillated area! I usually set up a fan to suck the fumes into another room when I do mine.

I just covered this with my OB and my stylist. It is recommened that if you color your hair that you do it at home and use an ammonia free hair color. 1, at a salon you are still exposed to fumes and there really isn't any good way to ventilate. 2, Bleach is a no-no during pregnancy. 3, You and more comfortable and your home environment is easier for you to control. Good Luck
