can you dye your hair when your pregnant?

Question

Some people say you can and some people say you can not.. Does anyone know which one it is because I want to get my hair done and I an 9 weeks

Answer 1

Medically there is not a problem, But your hormones may change the pigmentation of your hair & come out a totally different colour than the one you want.
So get advice from a professional & have a strand test first.
Dont bleach your hair though because it will weaken your hair & after giving birth your hair is weak enough.
I know ALL OF THIS TO BE TRUE because my girlfriend asked the same question when pregnant

Answer 2

there been no evidence of any danger from coloring hair during this time. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologist's Planning for Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond says using hair color or hair perm products "is okay when you're pregnant. The New York office of the Organization of Teratology Information Services, which provides information on potential reproductive risks, says that while the data are limited, coloring your hair during pregnancy is probably safe. They point out that these chemicals have been around a long time and no research shows they cause defects in newborns. Plus, if you apply them safely (using gloves in a well-ventilated room), you don't really absorb much of the chemicals into your system.

Answer 3

strong fumes and the dye coming in contact with the scalp may be harmful to pregnancy. But several studies have provided no conclusive evidence that this is true, or not. The scalp absorbs a small amount of chemical, but many doctors suggest playing it safe by not coloring your hair in your first trimester. If you’re still worried, you can use vegetable dyes or get highlights only.

Answer 4

Yes, you can- make sure you are in a well ventilated place so the fumes don't make you sick. My aunt and I both have problems coloring our hair when we are pregnant- I guess the hormones change thing because our hair colors never come out right. She was lavender instead on blonde once and I got cotton candy pink instead of ginger. Pick a nice neutral color- maybe close to your natural color so you don't have to do it as often. Good Luck!!

Answer 5

Yes you can but the color might not take the first time so if it don't give it a couple of days and try it again and make sure yiou are in a well vented room or out side

Answer 6

the reason why they say is not safe is because of the chemicals used in the dyes can be harmful to the babies nerualogical devolpment. I think you need to what to your 2nd trimester.

Answer 7

Doctors say it is better to wait until after your third month of pregnancy.

Answer 8

It's SAFE. The stuff is not like the stuff they use 20 years ago.
