Hair colour and pregnancy

[Miss K]

Ren chicky babe! I would get her to do 1 tint foil then 1 of the bleach just to be safe tint is similar to bleach just not as powerful she can do back to back foils in splices to make sure no colour touches the scalp i have to do my sisters full head of bleach in foil but it looks like an all over colour as her scalp blisters when bleach touches it but she loves being white blonde hehe!

My hairdress said its totally fine for colouring. He prefers to wait until the 2nd tri though.
Apparently some die may go throught he scalp but it goes straight out too!

I would probably avoid the bleach too - but thats cos I would look awful as a blonde

I didn't color mine at all during the pregnancy. I just put up with greys & stripy hair. After 3 losses I wasn't taking any chances with anything that I couldn't find good evidence that it was OK.

I researched it quite a bit on the net and found that although most hairdressers will tell you it's safe to do (and it is thought to be safe) very little research has been done on it so they don't really know either way. That said it probably is fine as most pregnant women do seem to do it and go on to have healthy children.
