Coloring hair while pregnant bad???

Ok im 9 weeks and 2 days pregnant before i found out i was preggo i had highlights in my hair my roots are starting to show again i have a hair appt on the 9th of this month so would it be bad to re-do my highlights any suggestions??



Coloring hair while pregnant bad???

they say it can get the baby,but my aunty,cousin and closet friend are all hairdressers and all said that during pregnancy it is safe to colour or highlight your hair just not too much and always tell your hairdresser prior to any treatment,but perms is a definate no no.



Coloring hair while pregnant bad???

yes, bad, no fumes!

Cancel and wait until after delivery. If breastfeeding, hold off even longer.



Adequate ventilation will not keep you from inhaling fumes and not all scratches on your head are visible, plus skin is an organ which absorbs... this includes chemicals...no need to have a scratch.



Your best option is a semi permanent color that uses no peroxide until you can do something more permanent.



The thumbs down are not aware of the harmful effects of chemicals on your skin or in the air or are ignorant to what they don't fully understand. Yes people get this done while pregnant all the time and assume it is safe, there are people who smoke too and state..."well my baby is fine" but that doesn't make it safe or ok.

first of all u should not do ur hair in the first three months and in the last 2...yes it is bad for the baby and cancel the appointment



Coloring hair while pregnant bad???

Well it's bad to inhale!!!

DON'T DO IT.YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO DYE YOUR HAIR WHILE PREGNANT.

No, it is not safe to dye your hair while you are pregnant. Deal with roots--it's worth it! :)

I have previously spoken to several hairdressers about this and they said you can still colour your hair. Sometimes during pregnancy your hair goes dry and brittle and thats why some people don't dye their hair. It is not going to harm your baby though.

I've attended cosmetology school and had two children myself. coloring your hair is safe. dr's worry about any scratches in th scalp allowing the chemicals into your bloodstream and getting to the baby. your scalp is also more sensative. the hormonal changes in your hair can effect the chemical process, so make sure they do a test strand to make sure that your color pulls thru correctly and everything should be fine. if you're re-doing highlights by foiling or pulling thru a cap, the chance of you inhaling enough fumes to be harmful are slim to none.



Coloring hair while pregnant bad???

some people say it is and some say it isnt! so talk to your doctor!



Coloring hair while pregnant bad???

it is prefectally safe as long as it doesn't contact your scalp, which highlights shouldn't. the only thing is that the color might not take as well because you are pregnant



Coloring hair while pregnant bad???

I asked my doctor and he said that as long as the fumes don't bother me to go ahead. I've had my highlights redone twice now and am 35 weeks. My hairdresser makes sure she has all the ventilation on and said that highlights were best because it was a simple bleaching process that is not absorbed into the skin. ( A full head dye may be different) So go right ahead and get your hair done, just make sure you watch your inhilation. :) Congrats!

You can dye your hair while pregnant.



However you should wait until your second trimester.

It is fine you can do it...just be sure that your hairdresser knows you are pregnant........and by the way Congratulations on the baby! God Bless and I hope all goes well, with the hair coloring and with the baby

My aunt does hair for a living and says the only bad things about dying/bleaching/streaking your hair is b/c your hormones change while pregnant that it can cause the color or what you are wanting to achieve not to come out the way you want, it could wash straight out or wash out shortly. Some women it doesn't do any of that. Yes the fumes shouldn't be too strong. She also said that if the dye/bleach touches your scalp then you are fine. The colors/bleaches are made safer nowadays then before so you will be fine. She did her hair and others w/all her kids and my mom and I have done our hair at all times during our pregnancies and there have been no side effects expcept maybe my hair came out darker or redder than I expected..lol



Good Luck and have fun w/your hair!!



Ya lizards about the chemicals in the air..even well ventilated..so what about going out in the REAL world..all the pollution from factorys, cars and other things. I dyed my hair tonight in my bathroom w/the vent on and it took me maybe 10 min. to do it and on went a shower cap. I'm on my 2nd pregnancy and have dyed my hair as early as 8-9 weeks until a few weeks before birth and have had no problems. Couldn't be any worse than any other things we do in a normal life. If hair dye or bleach was that bad for pregnant women then hair stylists and more would have signs or would notify customers that they will NOT do pregnant women's hair and doctors would give out pamphlets that would say to stay away from it. But I guess it's not that bad and my doc knows I do my hair b/c I tell her and my hair is different everytime I see her.

My doctor told me that if I had to color my hair, not to do it in the first three months and do it at home. The stuff at home contains less ammonia and you can even get ones without it. Just make sure you have proper ventilation going. I have done my hair three or four times so far this pregnancy and nothing has happened. As far as going to a salon, I wouldn't because they use more chemicals.



Coloring hair while pregnant bad???

It is perfectly fine to color your hair. I am 12 weeks and just asked my doctor 2 days ago. And she kinda laughed and said yes of course you can that is a myth! Just don't suck in the fumes. But the fumes are the only thing you have to worry about. It wont go thru the skin!



Coloring hair while pregnant bad???

I was wondering the same thing and in all the books I have read it states that it's not a problem, (unlike perming or straightning the hair) as long as you try to keep the colour off the scalp. So if you are having high-lights, just ask the colorist to start a few millimeters from the roots.



I would also avoid getting it done until you have passed your 12th week just in case.
