Colouring Hair

well in the what to expect while your expecting book it says that its unknown what hair dye does and to avoid it. So I didnt colour my hair at all with my first preganancy. During my second pregnancy i was a little more relaxed and when i was out of the first trimester is put foils in. My reasoning was that it didnt actually touch my scalp therefore would not get into my system.

But when you think of all the toxins that you cant avoid every day im sure a little hair dye wouldnt hurt too much.

I dyed my hair during my first pregnancy and then found out during my second that chemicals from hair dye can be found in the urine. So I opted not to dye my hair for my other two pregnancys just in case. Like janine said it probably depends on what kind of dye you are using.

I am planning to have it done at a salon (just foil highlights) however I will be in my first trimester. I am thinking it might be best to avoid it all together just to be on the safe side. Thanks for your replies.

sometimes the dye can turn out slightly different while pregs but i dyed mine both pregsan my 2 r fine

I wondered the same thing when i was pregnant and i got told by my hair-dresser that foils are ok as they are not from the roots un-like when you dye it sits on your scalp and your body absorbes it not how much but better to be safe then sorry i say.

I dyed my Hair through my pregnancy, and everything is/was fine! I even asked my midwife and the hair dresser and they said it was ok!
