I asked my doctor and he said it's bogus that it's bad for you. He also says pregnancy should be enjoyed so go ahead and do things you normally do. Especially as you're almost into the 2nd trimester, you're fine to dye your hair.

I have dyed it in the past and nothing happened to baby, however, I didn't do quite often. One thing that did happen to me was I lost a lot of hair because I had dyed it two weeks after giving birth. Drs. say that the chemicals found in hair dye could bring physical defects or retardation. If you inhale the chemicals. What I would do is dye your hair to your natural hair color and what three months after birth to start dying again just to be on the safe side.

I just watched a TV episode about hair dye and pregnancy this morning. The Dr on the show said it was ok to dye your hair. That most hair dye's don't seep through the scalp. He did however mention to do it after your first trimester cause the baby is most vulnerable then. But always consult your doctor first cause you may be high risk.

They dont have you do it the first trimester because the fumes can irratate your already unhappy tummy. Just make sure to tell your stylest you are pregnant, or if you do it yourself do it in a well ventalated area. My last pregnancy I bleached and dyed my hair. Your hair will take the color differently than normal though so be careful. Alot of salons wont dye you until the second trimester. Good luck!

I asked my doctor the same thing both times i was pregnant and lets keep in mind i just had my second on September 7. He says know that it isn't harmful just when you dye your hair open the windows. The only possibility is that it won't work out because of the hormone change in your body.

Yeah, its fine to dye your hair. Go on ivillage.com under pregnancy...I think that is where I read that it is ok. Try using all natural hair dye from Sally's Beauty Supply, or another beauty store, or use extra gentle ammonia-free, low peroxide dye if you're really worried about it.
