Hair colouring and pregnancy?

Hi Jay-Bee,

I read in Baba & Kleuter that it is perfectly safe. Also my SIL is a hairdresser and she was pregnant last year her baby is also staying in the salon while she works he is now a year old and he is perfectly happy, healthy and normal.
And he is exposed to hair color and bleach and all the chemicals everyday.

So I don't think you have anything to worry about, but as always when in doubt ask your doctor.

GL for the remainder of your pregnancy.

Thanks Lauz, that makes me feel so much better! It is either having my hair done or wearing a hat for the next 9 months

The way I see it, people can have babies while addicted to drugs what's a little bit of chemicals that are so far away from the baby it would have to travel so far in the blood which has its own ways of cleansing the body of harmful organisms to reach the baby!

I went with my first and currently going with my second as well. With my first I struggled with the smell of the bleach and became slightly panicked but this time round I've been fine, my first born is a healthy little girl and so far so is my little boy.

Hi Ladies

I am 6 weeks pregnant and I normally tint my roots and have a few hi-lites every 6 weeks or so as unfortunately I have horrible gray hairs. I have not had my hair done in more than 6 weeks and it looks terrible. I feel so self conscience and now only wear my hair in a ponytail.

I have heard that now days it is fine to have your hair done as the hair colours do not contain so many chemicals as previous years and that one should just sit in a well ventilated area.

Have any of you ladies been to the hairdresser while pregnant? I am desperate to go but don't want to harm my baby?

Please help
