Can i dye my hair or japanese straighten my hair while pregnant?

Question

Im currently 18w and im planning on getting the japanese straightening/dye/bleach/highlight my hair but idk if it does affect my baby or not.Does any mom done any of these while pregnant?

Answer

(I'm a hairstylist)

Professional color these days is a lot better than it used to be and is safe when you're pregnant. My doctor said not to worry about it. I wouldn't use the straightener though. Not all straighteners have formaldehyde as a bi-product but there are fumes and I wouldn't risk it. 
Personally, I'm chosing not to color my hair because pregnancy hormones can affect what color your hair turns. My coworker just had her baby and she colored her hair throughout the pregnancy. She and baby are fine.

Answer

I've been a stylist for about 12 1/2 years....One that's A LOT of chemical work to your hair, and Japanese straightening and bleach don't really,mix, unless you want your hair to be EXTREMELY damaged and it can irritate your scalp enough to wear your hair can fall out. I'd do some SERIOUS research before going ahead with those processes. Also I'd only do this professionally. You also have to think of how many hours and how many different chemicals that will not only be on your skin but what you'll be inhaling. Just my professional opinion.

Answer

No- very to IV chemicals are used. Just dying your hair will increase cancer risk, and straitentening uses formaldehyde, which will translate to the baby.  A no for sure

Answer

Hope this helps somewhat....

Answer

I asked my dr if I could dye my hair and she said it was a personal preference. I asked her if she would dye her hair while pregnant and she said no.  I didn't do it. This time around I can't even believe I considered it

Answer

I definitely wouldn't straighten. I use to about twice a year for a few years and then i got pregnant with my first and stopped. Even though many are labelled no formaldehyde, there's definitely been incidents of fraud in that regard. I also was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after my son was born. I have done a lot of research since then and although I can never be sure, I think it was a contributing factor. Not trying to fear monger but I would for sure avoid the process while pregnant and if you breastfeed. Just starting to embrace the curls again :)

Answer

I personally wouldnt. In my opinion I won't do anything that could possibly harm the baby. It's not worth it. I can go 9months without dying my hair. But if you are gonna do it just get it professionaly done

Answer

You can colour your hair. But if u want reasurance ask your doctor
But the straightners I wouldn't it's got so many chemicals in it and breathing them in is not good 
I am a colourist and can do both but now I'm pregnant I will only colour wella say it's safe to do so just make sure u get a skin test

Answer
