Can you have you highlights done when in your first trimester or at all? Some people say no way because of chemicals and some say it’s ok?

Question

Answer

My midwife gave me the go ahead at 10ish weeks to do my roots (except I wasn’t lightening or using bleach) her only recommendation was that I have good ventilation and open the window or something. So I ended up coloring my hair in my garage with the door open. But You would definitely ask your care provider. I’m not sure what the guidelines are for bleaching and highlights.

Answer

Highlights don’t touch your scalp, so are safe. Even the book ‘what to expect’ says it’s fine. Even other all over colors I believe are fine now having read many people ask this question.

Answer

My doctor told me after first trimester. I waited until after 20 weeks and only did foils to eliminate dye on my scalp.

Answer

I’m a hairstylist. Colour has changed so much that it is safe. Just let your stylist know because sometimes hormones can make the colour take a little warm so then they can take that into consideration. Highlights also dont even touch your scalp if that makes you feel even better.
