For anyone who has your hair colored...

luckymrs. · January 2011

Do you have any good tricks for "hiding" your roots during the first tri? Like a style that would help (short of shaving one's head)?

I have highlights and lowlights and my haircolor appt was scheduled for this Saturday, but I obviously will cancel it (and reschedule until at least until after the first tri--if not later).

The difference in haircolor is really obvious, so I appreciate any advice.

I talked to my hairdresser and Dr and they both said it is fine to have your hair colored. I am lucky and only have to have it done once every 3 months.

Pulling it back, at least on the top front, may help. If the roots are lighter than the rest of your hair (which, if I understood your post, it's the opposite - sorry, I don't dye my hair, so I'm not as familiar with the terms), then you can use a Sharpie to color the roots to the color you want. Sounds weird, but completely works. Sharpie also sticks well to gray.

I just get mine colored

I still get my highlights because they don't touch the scalp. If your hair is blonde, you can try some dry shampoo. The one I use is white, so it does lighten the roots a bit.

I put baby powder in my hair when it's dirty to soak up the oil and it helps lighten the roots.

I waited until I was out of first tri, and then only highlights. No tricks except pulling your back that I can think of. Wish I had a good suggestion, but congratulations on your roots showing, because its for a great reason!

When I was pregnant with DD I waited until I was 15wks to color my hair. I was in a well ventilated room and had no issues. I'll do the same this time.
