Hair colour and pregnancy

[Jbelle]

Did u colour your hair through your pregnancies???

Yep, I held off in the first tri and gave in by the second and had half a head of foils.
Honestly, I felt that if the foils didn't touch my scalp, I'd be fine..

yeh thats a good point...i think if u just foil the heck out of it its much better than a full colour directly on ur scalp

i've been googling this one too...i'm so damn grey now i colour my hair monthly. apparently it's ok to colour, but i agree, i'm much more comfortable with going for the foils option. and if you have a local tafe that does hairdressing, you can have them done cheap there!!

colouring is completely fine during pregnancy

I am a hairdresser the only thing I would not suggest is putting bleach on the scalp as you are producing alot more heat through your body being pregnant and sometimes can cause the bleach to liquidize so I would say if you are blonde do the foil option if you are a darker colour go for a demi-perminant its in between a semi and a permanent so it covers greys but does not contain the high peroxide levels

Hi - if you do a search on BB you will find heaps of old threads about hair colouring - it is obviously something us girlies have all been concerned about!
