Is Coloring Hair During Pregnancy Dangerous?
You better check with your doctor first, especially if you have allergies but “it’s probably not harmful. However, you should wait until the second half of your pregnancy when the baby is fully formed. Can’t go another second without a color fix? Well, you can do highlights since they start a quarter inch from the scalp, where the dye isn’t being absorbed into the body.
If you’re getting your hair professionally colored, schedule the appointment for when the salon is less crowded. Definitely stay away from peak hours on Saturday afternoon to avoid inhaling fumes. If you choose to color at home, wait until the third trimester. Work in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves. Look for dyes that have low or no ammonia, and don’t assume that “natural” dyes are chemical-free. Often times these contain the same compounds found in regular hair color.
