Can you dye your hair when your pregnant?

Q: I’ve heard you can’t. I’m 8 weeks pregnant, and my roots are literally down to my ears 😐 I look stupid. haa. Cos my hair has been dyed blonde, and i have brown roots coming through, i look like an idiot. 😛 Just wondering if theres anything you can use to dye your hair other than bleach? Thanks in advance. 🙂

A: You can dye your hair, it’s fine.I had the same problem, I got my hair dyed blonde and then found out I was pregnant. Brown roots is not a good look so I asked my midwife if it was safe to get my hair dyed.She pointed out to me that hairdressers have babies too. They’re around hair dye, perming solution, etc all day long and their rate of miscarriage/deformity/stillbirth is no higher than that of women who are not hairdressers. She also told me that the scalp absorbs so very little of the hair dye that it’s negligible and that you would absorb more harmful chemicals walking alongside a busy road during rush-hour or walking past a pack of smokers outside the pub.The only considerations you need to make are that your hair can react differently to hair dye due to your hormones. This can mean that you either don’t get the colour you were after or the colour doesn’t take. Get your hairdresser to do a strand test a few days before doing your whole head. Trust me – it’s important. My hairdresser did a strand test using my usual dye and it went orange, I had to switch brands to get the colour I wanted. You should also get your hairdresser to do a patch test, where she dabs a little bit of dye on your neck or inner-elbow. Hormones can make your skin more sensitive so best to check you haven’t developed a temporary allergy. If you’re suffering with sickness at all then sit as near to the door as possible and ask if they can run a fan near you to clear away the smell.I dyed my hair right the way through, my son is now 11 weeks old and thriving. Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you can’t look good and you may as well pamper yourself.

Can you dye your hair when pregnant?

Q: I’m 23 weeks pregnant and feeling very BLAH. I want to get my hair highlighted but have heard some mixed responses on the subject. I called my doctors office but they are closed for the day, so I have to wait until Monday to ask. In the meantime, I’ll just ask on here for different advice you have received 🙂 I read that the dye itself doesn’t harm the baby, but the fumes. What if you wear something? Like a doctors mask? Has anybody else done this? My shower is in a few weeks and I’d love to have a new style.

A: There is no evidence that dyeing you hair is harmful. That being said if you want highlights it will not effect the baby as the dye don’t usually touch the scalp. I have to tell you that I did do the research regarding hair dye and still with my third child I did dye my hair. He is healthy and vibrant. He will be 9 months on Sat and he is already walking around the furniture. BTW I never wore a mask either. Hope this helps. Cheers!
