I am 36 weeks preggers and am in desperate need of dying my hair. You know how you just feel ugly and want a change? Well, I really want to dye my hair. It is Superior Preference by Loreal. It's Level 3 Permanent color - Medium Brown. Is it o.k. to do it even though I am pregnant? I have a mask that I can wear. I thought I read somewhere that pregnant women shouldn't dye their hair. But I also thought that I read it was not good for the 1st trimester. How about now?

okay a lot of people say it will hurt the baby...IT WILL NOT...they say you shouldnt die your hair cuz the hormons in your baby may not take the color you want brown and you could end up with blonde...its not cuz it will hurt the baby your hair may just take a different shade...i died my hair at 34 weeks and my baby and i are fine....i also did it professionally that way if my hair didnt take they could fix it for free!!

I am in my last trimester 31 weeks and I recently dyed my hair and it did not take the way that I wanted it too. I have also heard that pregnant women should not use any chemicals while pregnant.
But I felt ugly too and I could not take it anymore so I took a chance and did it anyway...
If you do decide to do it, just be careful.. I took a chance and it came out ok.. Hopefully the baby is going to be fine, I really believe that he is... (Good Luck)!!!!

Its only recommended not to dye your hair the first trimester due to the baby forming. After the first trimester you are ok. Just make sure to be in a well ventilated area and wear a face mask. Make sure you dont do it yourself though, have someone do it for you.

the reason people say that you are not supposed to dye your hair is because of the chemicals can be absorbed by the scalp, enter the blood stream, and might effect the baby. however, i think that's dyes in this day and age are safe. the only thing that you should be concerned with is that sometimes when you are pregnant, hair dye will not take like it did when you weren't pregnant. this happened to me. i dyed my hair and the color only took to the roots.

I dyed my hair both times i was pregnant and i was about 27-30 weeks along , i and the baby was fine cause i had a mask on .
I think it will be fine as long as you keep the mask on until you wash it out of your hair where you done inhale any of the fumes and stuff even when you are in the shower or bath. I hope this help and congrats on the baby.
But if you are conserned you might call your gyno and aske him/her what they think, but mine told me as long as i had a mask and wore it till i got it all rinsed out in the shower i was okay

Its' perfectly fine honey! I had the same concern. I am only 4 months pregnant, but i havent dyed my hair in four months because I was worried about hurting the baby! My hair looked horrible! But I asked my Ob at my last appointment and she said that it was perfectly fine. I got my hair dyed this week! I felt so much better about myself!! Good luck!

Most likely when your pregnant whether it is good for the baby you arent able to dye your hair there is some hormone i forgot what it was called but your hair wont change color...

I feel for ya, I can hardly wait to color my hair, (I have quite a bit of grey) but you really are not supposed to. I would say just wait till it is all over with. Besides, once that baby is born you will be totally invisable as everyone comes to see the baby and not you.

It's fine. Just wear a mask over your nose and mouth. Women get their hair and nails done all the time while preggers.
You deserve to feel good about yourself!!!
