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?
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
