coloring your hair?

Seattle_JiLLn · September 2009

My doctor wont' let me color my hair. I know he's like the only doctor that won't let you do it anymore. I even told him that every other doctor says it's ok and that he's the only mean one. He said "I'm the only one who's right"... My doc is a smart ass.

Anyway, so I'm thinking I might color my hair the night before my c-section. How bad could that really be??? and then I won't look like the grandma in pictures with my new baby. And realistically, I'm not going to have any ability to color my hair after the baby comes - I wont' want to get dye in my c-section incision....

WWYD?

GO FOR IT!!!! I can't believe that your doc thinks its bad! besides right before can't hurt anything the baby is fully cooked by then!

I would if I were you. I definitely don't see any harm in doing it the night before.

I have read that it is fine to color your hair. If you want, use semi-permanant.

I totally would. I didn't do any color in my first trimester just to be extra cautious but then did highlights at least twice while I was pregnant. The night before would be totally safe IMO. And you're right, that's going to be the last thing you want to deal with after the baby is born!

oh my gosh, DO IT! I (by chance) got mine done the week before DS was born and it was great 'cause I couldn't even think about getting it done until about 10-12 weeks later and by then I really needed the touch up. I get my hair colored at Aveda where the ingredients are gentle all natural except for the ammonia..

As a hair stylist I say GO FOR IT! It wont cause any harm you could always just do a foil that way there would be no on the scalp application or like a pp post said do a semi permanant. I color mine atleast once a month

The gray is all down at the roots though, so I have to do the real deal. And semi permanent comes out of my hair in about a week or less. I have really curly hair and it's just too porous for semi permanent to do anything at all. I just do it myself with a box. But for my wedding I went all out and got it done for real. And they did a permanent color and then did highlights where they sort of bleached out some pieces and then put semipermanent color back in for those lighter parts - I think there was some foil involved there? ANyway, the light pieces turned into bleached out streaks during our honeymoon. So that shows you how well the semi permanent lasts! ANd I had paid a LOT for that!!
