I just wanted to know if it was safe or not to color your hair while pregnant. It seems like it should be safe to me but with all the other precautions you take when your pregnant it seems that you still might not want to. I was just wondering if other moms have dyed their hair while pregnant.
I believe the only 'coloring' that is safe while pregnant is highlights that do not touch the scalp. I was flat out told 'no perms' while pregnant by my obgyn.
Ask your OB/GYN. I know I asked and was told highlights were ok. Not sure about all over color. But I remember my stylist at the time telling me there were all kinds of natural plant based colors that are safe. But ask.
I thought you had to wait until after the first trimester...i could be mistaken?
it's ok to color or just highlight anytime, from what my doct's say. It's bad in excess and it's better to have foils or a cap and not have the chemicals right on your scalp. The experts aren't sure of how much is absorbed through the skin and then into the blood stream (thus why 'they' say to stay away from it while preggo) go give yourself a boost, we all need a little primping from time to time!
hope that helps,
R.
