Coloring hair while pregnant?

ok so i am going to be 22 weeks pregnant on monday...and i was wondering if it is ok to color my hair.. i work at a salon and the girls say it should be fine.. that they think the only reason why they say dont color your hair while pregnant is because back in the day they used to use color that had harmful chemicals.. but they dont have that anymore.. another girl said she was dying hair through out her pregnancy and it was fine.. and that she thinks its only the first 3 months..i just want to here your inputs.. i usually dye my hair every winter brown.. and my roots are growing in and i would like to at least have my hair one color which is brown and closer to my natural hair color so my roots arent showing so much..

Talk to your OB, and follow what he/she says.

It's usually best to avoid hair dyes during pregnancy. That's because some harmful substances have been found in them, including lead and mercury. Red coloring (dye) is also very questionable. Read the pamphlet that comes with it to identify the ingredients and then decide if you want to color your hair. My guess is that you could take a chance after the first trimester, especially if you are going brown and you do it only once or twice during the pregnancy.

They sell some more environmentally friendly hair dye at Whole Foods, which would probably be better for a pregnant lady that normal hair dye. I have heard that it's not a good idea to use any chemicals in your hair when you're pregnant because of unpredictable results.

I colored my hair with all my pregnancys. They were all full term healthy babies. I think your fine. If your really concerned I would ask your OB.

My doctor said it was fine, and I colored my hair all throughout my pregnancy. I did many different colors, too, including brown, red, black, and blonde highlights (not all at the same time).



Make sure you're in a well-ventilated area (not closed in a windowless bathroom), don't eat the left-over dye, and you'll be fine.



The only problem you might encounter is that you may be more sensitive to the smell of the dye than you usually are. If that happens, your eyes and throat may burn, and you might begin to feel faint or have a hard time breathing. If that happens, I would try covering the hair in plastic and directing a fan at you to clear the air around you. If that doesn't help, then rinse your hair immediately, and don't try to dye again until after the birth.



Good luck!
