I always thought it was an old wives tale that women shouldn't get their hair colored while they're pregnant. I'm 38, six weeks along, some grays are poking out and I want to get my hair colored. (I usually get it colored every 6 weeks.) My husband this morning laid a small guilt trip on me for "endangering" the bun (our affectionate name for the baby). Thoughts? Should I wait to get it colored until later or is it safe to do it now? It's a no-smell coloring that my stylist uses so there are no harsh fumes to breathe in.
Re: Can I really not get my hair colored??
This seems to be a personal opinion - some women dye their hair from day one until they hit the hospital, others weight until the 2nd try, and others go natural.
There are not enough studies to say one way or another. If the dye has no harsh fumes I think it would be safer. There is some debate though if the dye can soak into your skin or not, which is why some ladies opt for highlights vs whole head.
No right or wrong here - talking with your doctor and decide what is best for you.
Up to you.
My DR said it was perfectly fine. She was also pregnant at the time. At my highlight appointment when my hair dresser wheeled me around in the chair guess who was sitting across the way getting her hair colored? My DR

I have a and inch of hair growth... I dyed my hair in December, and now just when I was ready to hit the salon... I?m prego!
OMG! good thing I dye my hair only two shades lighter than my natural colour... what should I do? wait for 2nd trimester to dye it or just highlights?
I?m planning on having a professional photoshoot when my belly shows, and I don?t want to have messy hair

This, exactly. I wouldn't do a dye that touches your scalp.
