Is it safe to die your hair while pregnant?

Question

I'm almost 18 weeks, but I plan on dying my hair in another two weeks or so. I'm not sure if what people say about hair dying during pregnancy is harmful to the baby because I have seen preg. girls that work in beauty salons who work with all these chemicals, etc. and they have healthy babies, and they say that it is normal to them. But still, I don't know if it's harmful to inhale the chemicals or the fact that the hair dye might go through the skin that is harmful. I mean, I'm just confused because I might be wrong, but I still need to be sure if it's safe or not before I go and die my hair which will eventually I will have to bleach my hair a little and use strong chemicals.....

Answer 1

I wouldn't recommend it. But ask your OB for their answer.

Answer 2

There isn't a clear-cut answer on this topic, I think there just hasn't been enough research. I know that with some pregnant women, their hair won't even take the dye because of changes in their follicles/cuticles and potential complications with harsh chemicals. I believe a friend of mine who was pregnant dyed her hair - she mentioned that they make a vegetable based dye that is natural and safe - but I don't recall the name of it.

Answer 3

As far as I know it's okay to use a semi-permanent dye while you're pregnant as long as you do not put the dye directly on your scalp. The chemicals in the dye can seep into your body through the pores in your scalp.

Answer 4

I recommend not dying your hair, while you're pregnancy. It's will harm your baby. If I were you that after birth and check with your doctor first before you can do anything your hair.

Answer 5

It is not recommended.

When I was pregnant, my hair would not take the dye.

Answer 6

I wouldn't.

Answer 7
