My poor 'do...:-(

Lolabug86 · February 2010

So?my natural hair color is blonde-ish, but I dye and highlight it so that it is lighter than my natural color. I dyed it about two months before conceiving our LO. That said?it is driving me CRAZY!!! I?ve heard mixed reviews on dying your hair when prego so I just don?t know what to do. I have probably four inches of grow-out that is really, really bugging me. I doubt anybody else notices that much because the roots aren?t THAT much darker than the rest of it but I can see it! Have any of you dyed your hair since becoming PG?

I've dyed my hair a couple weeks ago and baby is doing wonderful! My doctor said it was fine.

My OBGYN said it is safe after 20 weeks. Others have been told 14 weeks is safe. I would say you are ok to go ahead and dye your hair. How many hairstylists do you know that have delivered healthy babies?

I'm also wondering if dying it darker would be less harsh than dying it lighter...any thoughts?

I don't dye my hair, but I do highlight it. Highlighting is safe (after the 1st tri) because it doesn't touch your scalp so it can't be absorbed. My Dr. says not to dye hair b/c the dye can be absorbed. However, I know a bunch of Drs who say that it's fine.

I have dyed my hair and no three arms growing or anything. Honestly, my mom is a hairstylist and it isn't that big of a deal. She is around dye and the fumes all day and she had 4 healthy pregnancies and we are all fine. Also my doc told me it is fine.

I did once in January right before my wedding. I didn't want my roots showing lol

She used a dye that was semi permanant and didn't have as many harsh chemicals.

Baby is doing just fine

I dyed mine 3 weeks ago. I heard doing it at a salon is better than the at home stuff...but who knows. I trust my hairdresser (family member who works at a very reputable/popular/upscale--but I get VIP price) and she said it's fine to dye your hair when pregnant.

I highlight. My Dr. says it's fine.

I vote its okay. My doctor says its fine if I want to since I'm out of first tri. Plus I used to work at a salon and saw plenty of pregnant women get their hair colored and they (the regulars that I knew) had no issues.

My Dr. said it was fine after the 1st Tri so I waited, actually just went like a week ago...
