Anyone dye their hair in the first tri?

coleby914 · November 2009

I got my hair done yesterday and had originally planned on getting highlights but let the stylist talk me into getting a full color. She claimed Aveda is all natrual and does pregnant women all the time but now I'm really second guessing myself and feeling guilty about it. Tell me to stop being a paranoid freak and that it's going to be alright. Confused

I've highlighted mine and I've read that either is ok however my OB said no full head hair color in 1st tri but o.k to highlights. I think everyones OB is different. My hair stylist said either is ok.

i am going to dye my hair using natural instincts(semi-perm non-ammonia based) but if i were not going to do it myself i would have it done at AVEDA.. I wouldnt be worried at all. I love their almost-all-natural products,,besides bleach is worse than dye i think & dye only processes for like 20 minutes,,,the rest of the time is just to let the color soak in....

if you go there again you could ask for demi-perm & then maybe you wont feel bad, it is semi-permanent with even fewer chemicals.

you could tell your doc if you feel too bad but if you love your hair then be happy ...i hope you look great!

I highlighted at 10 weeks. Every doctor is different. My dr said it was up to me since there is no solid research. I was already overdue and it was highlights or wig. I am waiting another month then going to dye whole head brown so I don't have to worry about roots the rest of pregnancy.

Yes. I had highlights and lowlights put in on Friday. I also got my hair done about 3-4 times while I was PG with DS.

Unless you're eating the dye, it's perfectly safe.

It's fine. I had my hair dyed throughout my entire first pregnancy and will continue for this pregnancy as well. My Dr and hairstylist said it is safe.

I dyed my hair a few weeks ago, and I did once a month when I was pregnant with DD, perfectly fine.

My OB told me to wait until second tri. Only 3 more weeks and thank god because I look really bad with half a head of highlights.

It's no big deal. I think most docs say it's fine.

I colored mine in the 1st tri w/o knowing I was PG. My stylist used Paul Mitchell products which is also safe. You'll be fine. I got my hair colored w/DD every 10 wks after the 1st tri w/DD and with this LO it's just been every 10 wks since I didn't know I was PG in the 1st tri.

I will be dying mine that is for sure! I have jet black hair but started going white (skipped grey) at 19 so if I dont it will look bad!

I was going to wait. But my best friends gets her hair done by the same stylist I go to. And my stylist said that I could come in and get my hair done because when she does hair the dye doesn't rest on the scalp. She's got two kids so I trust her.
