Yvette, I believe that it's safe these days to dye your hair because a chemical that was once considered harmful is no longer present in hair dyes - either salon or home-bought. I can't remember what chemical, perhaps ammonia? I'm not 100% sure. I always just dyed my hair after the first trimester & I'm going to have it done again on Tuesday as my bub is due quite soon.
I have been told that with the blondes, the peroxide used can be quite damaging to the hair shaft & as being pregnant can take the vitality out of hair (or sometimes replace it), it's best not to go the whole hog with blonde. But mind you, I have a LOT of blonde foils & my hair is holding it fine!
I need to colour my hair once a month. So I have coloured my hair 3 times and each time I have asked the pharmacist if dying hair is okay whilst pregnant and each time I have been told its 100% fine. MY hair feels fantastic after a colour but lately towards the end its feeling very brittle
So I am quitting the hair-drying and straightening irons cold turkey but its very hard
Reneenay _ LOL, I have to reply to your post, I was an everyday-hair-straightening-kind-of-girl, my straightener was my bestie for a good 18 months but had to part with the relationship once Jessica was born, I just didn't have the time anymore, so maybe it's good you giving it up now! LOL.
