Colouring hair while pregnant?

[Pretz]

Hello ladies,

I was wondering whether colouring your hair while pregnant is safe or not?

I have heard and read different things so I'm unable to find a definite answer, however was wondering what your thoughts were and what you do while pregnant or did do while you were pregnant?

Did you colour your hair or not?

Thank you

I don't have a prob with doing it, I figure if it was not safe then there would REAL WARNINGS if you know what I mean. Hairdressers get pregnant too.

I've had my hair coloured twice now & will have it done prob twice again to keep up with it. I just geat a small amount of foils anyway. There are sooo many things going on when preganant, bad skin, morning sickness...not to mention the spare tyre I'm currently carrying LOL....so I figure I should maintain what I can to keep myself feeling & looking nice....just IMO.

I have had mine down now and I'm not bothered about some of the hype around this issue.

The only thing with it is that my hair went really weird when I had it done the first time. My hairdresser warned this might happened - the hormones affect the follicles and so the colour takes to the hair differently. Interestingly my hairdresser knew I was pregnant just by looking at my hair...!

.totally fine. Ive done it throughout all my pregnancies...and have 4 little people whom are perfectly healthy. Providing your not getting your hair coloured everyday (unlikely), your not sniffing, eating or inhaling the products put on your hair (unlikely)...then i think all should be fine.

Just make sure hairsalon is well ventilated....doors open, or aircon etc....
