Can I get my hair dyed?

Question

I'm 5 weeks, 5 days and my roots are terrible. I've been on prenatal vitamins for awhile and my hair has grown almost an inch in a month! I seriously need to cover up these roots. I've read it's ok and it's not ok. My first doctors appointment isn't until October 16 so I don't know yet. Any thoughts?

Answer

I'm a hairstylist and I think it's absolute bogus that anyone says that you can't color your hair. Hairstylists are pregnant all the time and deal with color and not to mention we do our own hair at least once a month. Just make sure your stylist is using good products and you are in a well ventilated room because sometimes a smell can cause nausea. But no, your baby won't come out with polka dots or any sort of deformity.

Answer

I completely agree with the first comment. I go to cosmetology school. There has been thousands upon thousands of people who work with hair color or get their hair done and their babies are fine....

Answer

Just got my hair dyed last week (I go every 6 weeks). I asked my dr office and my hairstylist and both said it was completely fine! I work in a very professional setting and I didn't want my hair looking awful!!

Answer

I have bright red hair and I feel realived  to read that it will not affect my baby if I keep retouching it!

Answer

Just got my hair colored last Friday and I was 5w 5days exactly. I'm trusting it's fine!
