To colour or not to colour ?? - first trimester

Question

Hi ladies!! Hoping to get some help.
This week I found out I was pregnant (yay!!!) we are over the moon excited. I have a prebooked hair apt for next Saturday to do my usual highlights and colour. Is it safe to get colour done at this stage or should I cancel?

Answer

I’m a hairdresser and the whole don’t colour your hair while pregnant thing is a total MYTH!! Doesn’t harm you or the baby at all nothing nada! The only thing I will say is because of the hormones colour may not take to your hair as usual. That’s it nothing bad :) hope the helps

Answer

I played it on the safe side and didn’t. Too many chemicals even just breathing in for my liking. I think the main thing though was they say the hormones may make the color act different. Talk to your stylist though.

Answer

Ite probably fine but I decided not to esp in first tri. If u do tell them not to do down to the root for less exposure. To be safe I'd wait til after first tri.

Answer

I am postponing until second trimester, just to be safe.

Answer

Last summer I dyed my hair with box color (which I usually do- I’m pretty frugal) and it BURNED like no other on my scalp.. it was so unbearable, I had to hop in the shower immediately. Found out two days later I was pregnant. Keep in mind that if you do end up keeping your appointment, your body may react differently to the chemicals as well- because of the hormone change! I’d say skip it 😉 Congrats on your pregnancy! 🙌🥰

Answer

I waited till the end of my second trimester!! I’d wait till Atleast out of the first trimester to stay on the safe side

Answer

I’ve done my hair color & bleached it while pregnant it’s not harmful to the baby but however the color of the hair dye might not come out to what you expected for me I had to play around with it a bit but the hair color faded quickly!

Answer

I box dyed my hair as per usual at around 5 or 6 weeks. My OB didn’t think it was a problem.
