Is it safe to have your Hair Coloured

[megs]

Hi,

I am 5 weeks pregnany and I am needing information on if it is safe to colour your hair. I don't do it very often maybe every 3 months. But of course hair is overdue for some attention.

Wanting to know if I should wait until I am past 12 weeks or if a semi permanent is safe.

Thanks

I'd like to know this also. My hair looks awful at the moment, and I have a DIY hair colouring kit that stares at me every time I open the doors to my linen cupboard.

At this stage, I think I'm going to wait until 2nd trimester to use it.

i've googled this curly q all over and got conflicting answers. all i can say is what a hairdresser classmate of mine is doing - not doing her hair as she is pg with her miracle bub - she's happy to just put up with regrowth. as am i, despite my greys! i'm just thinking less chemical load on the system has got to be good

in the end, you gotta do what you personally think is best.

If youre going to do it, wait until youre in second trimester.

Thanks for the replys.

I think I might just make do with a trim and wait till the second trimester.

From what I have read hair colour is perfectly safe to use during pregnancy as long as its not peroxide. I also asked a widwife who confirmed its fine. Ive been dying my hair every month since Ive been up the duff and nothing has happened yet that I know of
