Is it safe to dye my hair while pregnant?...

  • So i know she is catching crap for this but google isn't always right. My doctor said it was safe to go somewhere to have my hair dyed but not to do it myself at home. Ventalation is better at salons.

    Agreed, but then why ask us, we're not medical experts!  The issue is more than her question isn't an experience one, it's a simple is it safe or not that google could have answered as well as us and a doctor could have given an actual medical opinion on. 
    I fully understand that. Better wording could have been chosen. 
  • I personally would not dye my hair when pregnant. I don't dye it when not pregnant either, so it's also not high on my priority list. I've also avoided hair cuts in salons because I hate the smell of salons and don't want to be around that crap when pregnant (although I'm sure any doctor would say it's safe to go to a salon to get my hair cut lol- it's a personal choice to avoid salons). 
  • You should avoid nail salons because of the dust. That's all I know. 
  • I will say that even if you dye your hair, the hormones may affect the color. I waited until after DS was born last time, and the color didn't stick to all of my grays. :(

    Hormones are crazy for hair dye sometimes! You can't be sure the color will be correct bc pregnancy is weird like that

    I dye my hair every eight weeks.. Have done it three times now since becoming pregnant. Of all the bad habits I could possibly have... I've been assured by my doctor that the dye that I am in contact with at the salon is virtually the same as the toxic lotions we put on ourselves at home. Very little crosses the blood brain barrier. That being said, to each their own. :smile:

  • I died my hair using an ammonia free product that was quick to process (10 min I think it was), I did it at home and used the main floor powder room with the kitchen Windows open to get lots of ventilation. 

    No issues, it also didn't leave any color on my scalp. 

    The major no no I think is black dye as it has some pigment that is dangerous potentially even when not pregnant. 

    I've also been tinting my eyebrows once and a while (again not black) and no issues with the way the color turns out
