I'm trying to get pregnant but its too soon to test to see if I am. It should be fine if I dye my hair right? I know they say wait until the second trimester. I'm just making sure it wouldn't do anything to my baby if I am pregnant.

I was told no hair color at all when pregnant. If you think that you are pregnant - don't put your baby at risk by coloring your hair.

I was 9 weeks before i took a test and i dyed my hair right before I went to the Dr. to confirm I was pregnant. The Dr. said its safe just be sure to have good air flow so you dont get light headed or pass out. Although i did read it wasn't good to use black hair dye because it seeps into your skin..that the safest to use while pregnant are ammonia free and highlighters...good luck.

No it won't harm the baby, but god only knows what will happen with your hair. When you are pregers, your hormones go all funky and it could do something to your hair too. I waited until I had my baby before doing my hair again. (plus the smell of ammonia grossed me out) If you go with a semi (no ammonia) you should be fine(They will fade(wash) out of your hair in 2 to 3 weeks) Good luck

Most beauticians won't do it when your pregnant, color is normally ok, but if you use bleach your hormones can interact and your hair might turn green!! Ask yourself this though...if you are pregnant, is it really worth it to introduce that chemical to your body (yes its just the scalp but its gonna seep into your pores and stuff) and to your baby just to look good. Wait until you get your period. Then get it done.

Hair dyes are ok if you're pregnant. Go on and get your hair done and enjoy not being pregnant, but if you are, it's still safe.

I just delivered in Nov, and my Dr said it was fine to do but the color won't last as long as if you weren't because your hair changes due to all your hormones increasing. I had my hair high lighted when I was pregnant.

I asked my doc about this. She said that there is a chemical in hair dye that can hurt a baby yes... however, it would take the mom consuming (YES consuming!) enough hair die to kill her first, for enough to cross the placenta to do damage to the baby.
ACK! So yea, don't eat a whole lot of it and you should be fine LOL. I love my doc, she's hillarious :)

I wouldn't dye my hair while pregnant; while running the risk of possibly harming your unborn child; your hair might turn out the color you planned on it being. I had a friend with light brown hair who wanted to dye it darker, she ended up being pregnant, dyed her hair and then she had purple hair.
Do what you want, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Its fine to dye your hair. My best friend did while she was preggo and her little girl is just fine.
