Question

ok i'm pregnant and i'm 4 months can i die my hair???? and why

Answer 1

NO!The chemicals seep through your pores into your blood stream and can affect your baby.What you can use is a hair color wash (those temporary hair colors)that contain no ammonia.Good luck!=)

Answer 2

I dyed mine....so did all of my sisters. If you have any concerns just have them put it in foils and don't put it directly on the scalp. Some places also have organic dyes now without most of the harsh chemicals.

Answer 3

Since most studies have not been for the sole purpose of determining the risks of using hair dye during pregnancy, it is difficult to know for sure if hair dye is a risk. The studies that have been conducted so far have indicated that it is unlikely that hair dye is a risk factor in specific cases, but we do not know if it is an across the board risk factor (such as smoking or drinking would be). In most cases, especially in the case of pregnancy, one should err on the side of caution, especially since no conclusive evidence has been able to indicate whether or not hair dye is a risk during pregnancy.

My sister in law used die during her whole pregnancy along with highlight every 3 months nothing happened...

Answer 4

Wow what a polite way to ask a question.  You know you could just Google this and find the answer in ten seconds?

Most doctors prefer you not dye at all cause the effects on the baby aren't totally understood. But many say the risks are small and you can go for it and dye your hair as long as you are out of your first trimester.

Answer 5

Not much is known about the safety of hair dyes in pregnancy. It's likely that when you apply hair dye, a very small amount is absorbed into your body. But it isn't clear how much, if any, of these chemicals may reach the fetus.

Some recent studies suggest an association between dying your hair when pregnant and some childhood cancers, but the evidence is weak.

Talk to your obstetrician about any hair color treatments you may be planning. He or she may advise you to use toxin-free hair dye or to postpone any chemical processes involving your hair until at least after your first trimester.

To minimize the amount of hair dye that may be absorbed through your skin, the Food and Drug Administration offers these recommendations:

Don't leave dye on your hair any longer than needed.

Rinse your scalp thoroughly with water after use of hair dye.

Wear gloves when applying hair dye.

Even if your obstetrician says it's safe, you may want to postpone coloring your hair during pregnancy for cosmetic reasons. Hormonal changes can cause your hair to react differently when you're pregnant, and can leave you with an unexpected color.

Answer 6

No, just wait until you have the baby. The chemicals can seep through and pass through the placenta.

***Can someone please go answer my question, Ive asked the same one 3 times, and it has not shown up on the boards at all! Its very frustrating!!!

Answer 7

nope. gotta wait till the babys born to do that. The chemicals are bad for the baby.

Answer 8

Well you are in the 2nd Trimester so I would only get foils simply because the dye doesnt actually touch your skin... i got foils at 6mths and so far'we're fine.  

Just make sure you tell the hairdresser your pregnant  

Answer 9

Most doctors will tell you its fine to dye your hair while pregnant. Some will recommend waiting until after the first trimester which you are out of now anyway. I dyed my hair last pregnancy and this one as well.

Answer 10

No you should not color your hair.  Most doctors will tell you not to.  Many salons won't color your hair if you are pregnant.  Years ago there was a certain chemical that was put into dyes that could cause birth defects.  I am sure that hair color is much safer now.  But do you really want to take that chance.  There is still a lot of chemicals that are absorbed through the scalp and you are taking a risk.

Answer 11

Don't kill your hair.  That's not nice.

Answer 12

yes it is ok  

Answer 13

yes you can. the chemical BARELY get in. nothing to effect anything just make sure the space is well ventilated so you don't inhale anything. i dyed my hair around then and my baby is very healthy. my doc even approved it

Answer 14

Yes - just tell the person at the salon that you're pregnant and they can adjust which chemicals they use.  Make sure it's well ventilated so you're not breathing in the fumes and the chemicals don't cross over - it's safe but often unrecommended.
