Question

Is it safe to color my hair if I am pregnant?

Answer 1

Some say yes,some say no. I would prefer not to while I am pregnant. Why?= Any product with chemicals and scents usually contain "endocrine disruptor." This can cause unfavorable effects to the unborn. The fact is that we are already exposed to these "endocrine disruptor" in most of the things we use everyday - soaps,detergents,fabric softeners, tissues,perfumes, canned foods,and so on and so fort. My main point is to at least minimize exposure to things the we can possibly avoid while pregnant. It is a crucial stage for the unborn-the decision is up to your maternal feelings.

Answer 2

first of all, I would like to comment that I think its wonderful that you are finding out BEFORE you do it. So many mothers just do things without thinking of consequences to their child. I am a Nursing student and can vouch for the beauticians who think its NOT a good idea. We learned in class that hair dye, tanning beds, and tattoos are not recommended and can be dangerous. Although you didn't say you were pregnant ( I'm assuming ) but if you are- good-luck and congrats!

Answer 3

As the others answered, yes. Just not in the first trimester. Try not to use dyes with high ammonia though, use ones with more natural ingredients. And as always stay in a well ventilated area.

Answer 4

Yes its perfectly fine as long as you are in a well ventilated area. The only problem is sometimes your hormones prevent the color from setting as well as you might like.

Answer 5

yes its safe but ur skin is very sensitive while your pregnant and so it can really burn your scalp so to be safe pregnant ppl are advised not to color their hair..but it wont hurt the baby

Answer 6

Yep! I've colored my hair many many times. I'm 29 weeks pregnant and when I had my hair colored I had great venolation.

Answer 7

yep its fine i have had to perfectly healthy children and i am changing my hair colour all the time especially wen pregnant n my doctors have alwasy sed yes its fine the only thing is that wen pregnant your skin is more sensitive.

Answer 8

when my stylist was pregnant she asked her Dr. and he said as long as you are in a well ventilated room and not in the 1st trimester.

Answer 9

for as long as it is after your first trimester, why not??? but i'd recommend you wait 'til you're almost nearing your third trimester, because hormones due to pregnancies can differ from person to person.

Answer 10

Yes, just dont bleach it in any way. The fumes are pretty harsh!!
