I heard from many resources that it is perfectly fine to dye my hair in my second trimester! What do you think?

NO ONE IS SURE!! They don't have enough research. They do say to be on the safe side to wait after the first trimester. JUST TO BE SAFE. I know plenty of people who dye their hair and they have NORMAL beautiful children. O but if your do make sure its ventilated

I get asked this a lot, and unfortunately there is no clear answer since there have been no scientific studies done to address the use of hair dye in pregnancy. While there is no actual evidence available that hair dye is harmful during pregnancy, many practitioners recommend not dying hair in the first trimester when the fetal organs are forming. Processes like highlighting, which don't contact the scalp (unlike hair dye), probably are fine because they don't get into the body.

My doc told me it was fine.Only side effect was it may not turn out the color u want or all of your hair may not take the color cuz of the hormones. I am on child number first one is 9 dyed my hair with him he is fine second is 3 same thing and about to dye it with this one. You should be fine just don't freak if it doesn't turn out like you want. Most hair dyes now don't have that strong smell anymore try to stick with the ones without it.

It is okay, as long as the dye doesn't go right up to the scalp. The main thing is to keep it off your skin, so also you probably wouldn't want to dye your full head of hair, but doing a few highlights shouldn't hurt. Of course, if you're going to be worrying about it for the next few months, don't risk it.

The dying process can leave chemicals in your blood stream via the contact on your scalp.
Your doctor is probably the best person to give you advise, but I was always told you should not dye your hair when pregnant period.

I heard not to do anything. Paint your nails, dye your hair, or even step foot in a salon. The fumes that you breath in are not good for the baby.

You shouldn't dye your hair at the roots during pregnancy but you can have dye sort of frosted into your hair.

i think it would be ok? i dont think it would harm the baby..but i stayed away from all that stuff when i was pregnant..its all on what you feel really? poeple smoke all their pregnancy and have babies that are healthy..or even drink and have babies that are healthy. ( one of my friend smoked during the whole thing..and her baby is super great ) and she actually also dyed her hair...but i think she was only 3 to 4 months pregnant..follow your heart and do what makes you more comfortable

Not a good idea during your pregnancy. Wait until after the baby comes/
