Yes, it is safe to colour your hair during pregnancy, but you should really wait until you are in your second trimester. Also, make sure you are in a well ventilated room.

Yes you can dye your hair while pregnant. It's best to use hair dye that doesn't contain too much ammonia to it though. But it is ok to dye your hair. The only problem you might have, would be a sudden allergy to it due to hormonal changes, so make sure to do a small test forty eight hours before you dye it just to make sure you won't have an unexpected allergy to it. Otherwise go dye your hair and enjoy pampering yourself while you still can!

I heard it's not safe to dye the hair because the chemicals go into the pores of the skin and into the blood stream which can harm the baby.
Google it and find out for sure.

It's fine to dye your hair when you're pregnant.. that one's a total old wives' tale. Seriously, how many pregnant women do you see wandering around with nine months of root regrowth?? I did find that the smell of the peroxide made me feel really sick ad headachey though so maybe ask your stylist to open a window or something! Ask your midwife if your really worried.

ask your obgyn!! I have heard that you should not dye your hair the first 12 weeks because that's when the baby is developing its organs. Plus, when dying your hair while preggo...the hair may not dye as well due to all the hormones in your system. Just ask your doctor for their opinion!!

Well I'm a stylist and I'm 20 weeks preggo. I still work full time around the chemicals and I still color my hair all by the ok of the doctor. The only reason they suggest not to do it, is because your hair could do funny things. I've colored my hair 4 times since i've been preggo and it all was successful.

I think it is not recommended because your hormones can cause your hair to do strange things when you are pregnant, like turn your hair a different color than what you planned. I don't think it will actually harm you or baby. It's kinda of a chance you take.

I'm sure if there was a problem, the FDA would require the manufacture to state in writing on the box.
Just use a well known popular brand that's fresh. It shouldn't be a problem.

I was told it's not safe, especially the ones that contain bleach. Not sure the scientific explanation why (other then chemicals could affect baby's development), but I would just avoid it.

No, you are not suppose to dye your hair while pregnant. my doctor even had me stop using my topical acne medication.
