Ok.... I asked my doctor the same question..... he said YES! it is safe....
I asked because I am a cosmetologist, and didn't know if i needed to take all that time off because of my pregnancy.
He told me that bleach and lighter hair colors, are fine and unless you are consuming them (eating them) they are safe. Avoid breathing in the fumes directly of course.
He told me that the only real cause for concern, was the darker hair color, because they do have an ingredient in them that could cause some harm to the unborn baby..... it is a slight risk.....
He also told me that it was fine for me to continue doing hair, and getting my hair highlighted, he just advised me that if i was going darker. to keep the color off my scalp.
I wore gloves when doing hair... problem solved!
SO..... my advice to you! go with lighter highlights, and ask your stylist to pull it through a cap! that way it will never touch your scalp!
The fumes are not bad, the color will smell a little strong at first, but the smell goes away quickly.
I did hair and safely delivered 2 perfectly healthy little girls.... and keep in mind that I handled that stuff all day every day!
one note..... sometimes when you are pregnant the raging hormones in your body can cause your hair do do some strange things...... for example someone who regularly perms their hair, and has no problems.... may find that when pregnant her hair will not take the curl, and the perm doesn't work. same thing can happen with color......
This type of thing doesn't always happen, I just wanted yout to be aware that it can!
OHHHH!!
and congratulations! : )

It's dangerous because of the chemical and the fumes from the highlighting. You should just wait until after you give birth to your babe. It's not worth risking your baby's life just for highlighting.

Not reccommended, the last thing you want is something to irriate your scalp or skin during this delicate time if your life.
Just wait, the color will be there after the baby is born, you'll survive with out the highlights.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with colouring your hair while you are preggers.
If you are worried, just do some hiliting with a cap, that way the dye won't touch your scalp.
You just have to be careful in your third trimester, because your hormones are changing, it could affect the colour, although it is unlikely.
Congrats btw! gl

No!,most defenetly not at 7 weeks old. The babay is still small and growing so the chemicals might be harmful to it.

Dark hair dyes have been linked to cancer.
Highlighting, with "no ammonia" product, should be fine.

Yes, you are fine as long as the area is well ventilated and the hair dye doesnt touch your scalp.

No the chemicals can mess up the baby you need to wait until you are done giving birth
