Hair dye!?

Question

Anyone use hair dye (whether on themselves or anyone else) and their baby came out fine? And if so, how far along were/are you?

Answer

Yes it's perfectly fine! I'm naturally a blonde but I'm going white at only 30! :( But, I asked my doctor the same thing and she said to just make sure your in a well-ventilated area. So I leave my bathroom door open and put in my bathroom fan. And she said to maybe just cut out the amount of times you would dye your hair. So I told myself I would just dye it once a trimester! :)

Answer

I'm a hairdresser and my mums a midwife so we discuss this quite often. Because there is no evidence to suggest that it will cause any problems with your baby, I usually just let my clients decide for themselves what they feel comfortable with. I'm abit of a naturopath so I personally wouldn't or would just stick with foils, as we know what ever touches out skin can be absorbed into the bloodstream therefore passed onto the baby. But like I said there's nothing out there to suggest you shouldn't :)

Answer

My doc told me hair dye is safe after 12 weeks:)

Answer

Just as long as the dye doesn't touch your scalp my midwife said. When you are pregnant you gwt what is call relaxia or something that's why you get heart burn and it also causes your pours to open. She said it's fine but try not to do it as often as you would normally. :)

Answer

I did at 6 months and didn't have any issues. As long as it's in a well ventilated area you should be fine.

Answer

I heard that highlights are better as they don't touch your scalp. As your hairdresser if the dye is okay. Most ladies colour their hair with no issues

Answer
