Is it okay to dye my hair?!

Question

I’m 10 weeks 3 days pregnant. My doctor advised me to wait til after the first trimester to dye my hair. BUT... I’ve heard it’s fine to do it whenever as the chemicals really can’t penetrate your skin enough to reach the placenta. Plus I’m not even going to touch my scalp, I’m going to strip old red dye out and not touch past the 3 inches of growth I have. The color stripper is ammonia free. I will do it in a well ventilated area. I would never do anything to risk harming my baby, so what do you guys think, is there any risk?! I feel terrible about myself right now trying to grow out a pixie cut with old grown out dye and I just NEED to do something!

Answer

I personally wouldnt do anything against dr advice, 2nd trimester is only a few weeks away

Answer

Listen to your doctor.. but you do so, you have to keep all windows & fans going to vent the room very very good & most people their doctors says it’s okay for them to do.

Answer

I’m hair stylist and it’s perfectly safe as long as your in a well ventilated area. However my doctor told me to avoid applying red hair dyes as there is more of a harsh chemical in them.

Answer

That hair stripper stuff really stinks... I wouldn't personally do it. Try the vitamin C hair stripper. Might take a few goes but it works. Crushed vitamin C tabs, fairy liquid(dish soap) and some baby shampoo like Johnson and Johnson.

Answer

I died my hair at 6 weeks and at 11 weeks.
Both my family doctor and OB said it’s fine at any point in your pregnancy as long as you’re in a well ventilated room.

Answer

I dyed my hair, I just did it by an open window or had a fan going.
Just don’t want to inhale the fumes.

Answer

Yes you can dye your hair. I did it multiple times and still did it in first trimester. My hair was red when pregnant with my first lol
