ummmm..i dont know.. as far as im concerned women are prone to everything at their first trimester..its even dangerous to get sick.. coz med will take effect on your childs developments and critical developments occur at your first trimester.. the development of internal organs that is..
why would you have to dye your hair anyways...? are you an old lady?!? who wants to cover your white and aging hair?! if not , then i suggest you refrain in doing so..if you want to have a healthy child..
go eat lots of fruits especially the ones with vit c..

Though the pregnant belly is the most obvious physical effect a gestating fetus has on it's mother, it's by no means the only one. The changes are evident everywhere - from the palms of the hands (which may temporarily turn a ruddy red) to the inside of the mouth (gums may swell and bleed). The hair is no exception.
Though some extra-prudent practitioners still advise their patients to stay away from hair dyes when they're expecting, studies have not lnked these products to birth defects. Apparently, so little of the chemicals in the dyes is absorbed through the skin, it's not likely that it would leave any adverse effect.
But, while you may not have to worry about the impact on your baby if you continue colouring your hair, you may have to worry about the impact on your appearance. For hormonal reasons, your hair may react differently when you're expecting - leaving you with a colour you may not have expected.
I'm going to include the link to a pregnancy forum that I think you might be interested in joining. It's full of supportive women with boundless knowledge about these issues. I learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise.

It has been said to me that you should not use permanent chemical dyes in your hair (like what you would get done at a salon), but temporary hair dye that you would buy in a store may be okay. Don't quote me, it was just "heard".
If you are worried about it and you feel that it would affect the pregnancy, then I wouldn't do it at all. In a couple of months your natural beauty will shine through (because you are pregnant) and you won't need to wear a fake hair color.
My real hair color shined like it never had before when I was pregnant.
Anyways, if you absolutely have to dye it, check at your local drug store and see if there's a color that you like.

It's not a very good idea to dye your hair when you are pregnant because it isn't known whether the chemicals can affect the baby or not. I was and still am a constant hair dyer but i had to stop with both my children.

I dyed my hair with both of my children they came out fine. I went to one that it was very big, so I wasnt breathing the dye in at all. Also if you get streaks or foil they try not to touch your head with the chemicals anyways so that shouldnt be a problem. My doctor never said anything when I went in with my hair dyed either. I wouldnt freak out over it.

As long as you use a semi pernanent hair dye you will be fine. Most salons use semi permanent now because it fades instead of growing out so you don't have that awful root faze. The semi permanents do not have a strong odor and they are not strong enough to get into your bloodstream so baby will be fine.

I worked in a hair salon & a few of the stylists had gotten pregnant and continued to color thier hair. It is true your hair changes, but it is perfectly safe. I would stay away from perms or relaxers as they have fumes that are harmful to those not pregnant. You will be fine.

Yes! it is safe, do it in a well ventilated room. Also DON"T use henna! The henna dyes are more harmful to your hair. If you ever want to perm your hair later you will have to wait intil the henna has all been cut off!

I've read a lot of books that hair dying has chemicals that may hurt the baby.
Pregnant women should also avoid nail polish.
Don't do it.
