Can I dye my hair whilst I am pregnant?

Question

Hi, I am 14 weeks pregnant and I am wondering if it is okay to dye my hair whilst I am pregnant. What are your opinions?

Answer 1

its supposed to be dangerous because of the chemicals that go through ur skin. but i know loads of people that hav dun it and it hasnt done their children a pin of harm! xx

Answer 2

I am a hairdresser and there really is no proof that coloring your hair can be harmful to the baby, I wouldn't do anything until you are were in your second trimester. I would also have it done professionally rather that using box dye, and ask them to use the lowest volume peroxide, like 10 volume. And depending on your hair color you might be able to get away with highlights ,which are safer because it doesn't touch the scalp. If you don't have any gray you can also ask your hairdresser for a semi-permanent hair color. It won't last as long as permanent dye but it's safer, but it dooesn't cover gray very well. Talk it over with your hairdesser, they'll know what is best for you. And also, check with your dr just to make sure.

Some people will say no and some will say yes. I asked my doctor and he said that even if some of the chemicals do reasch the blood stream it's only for a short time and it won't cause any baby damage. It would be different if you were working in a hair salon and were exposed daily to it.
Some salons do have natural vegetable dyes you could try to get you through pregnancy........but the short term exposure won't cause any damage/

Answer 5

If you have any concern dont risk it. I have heard that semi permanent dye should be ok but not permanent.
But i wouldnt just take a guess. Find a dye you like and ring the help line on the box and ask them on the customer service number as every dye has different ingredients.
