Can you dye your hair while pregnant?

Question

me and my bf have been arguing about this, It's time for me to visit the hairdressers at 20 weeks pregnant. last time i went they said it was fine but my bf thinks i shouldn't go as it could harm the baby, but woudn't the hairdresser know who's right? x

Answer 1

yes, yes, yes it is perfectly fine. I am 30 weeks and have done it twice. We are both just fine.

Answer 2

I was wondering about that too. I'm asking my doctor next time I go, you should probably see what yours says first.

Answer 3

No it doesn't make a difference! What does your hair have to do with your baby? Like they arn't connected!

Answer 4

no u shouldnt, did u watch baby mama?

Answer 5

I was a manager at a hair salon and it's fine.  We serviced many pregnant women.  And I myself also had my hair bleached/dyed while I was pregnant and my baby is 100% healthy and adorable :)

Answer 6

Ask for an organic dye. Those are fine to use. Most dye has harsh chemicals and they recommend staying away while pregnant  

Answer 7

Your doctor also knows the answer to this as well. For all of my pregnancies, my doctors have all said that it is safe. It is especially safe since you will be going to a hairdresser and not doing it on your own, which they advise against. As long as nothing touches your scalp, there is no issue. And even if there is a mistake and some does land on your scalp, you will be fine as long as it is only a little.

To ease your bf's fears, take him to the doctor with you when you ask this question. If the doctor says it is fine, then it is two against one and he will have to leave you alone. But to warm you, some doctors are conflicted on this issue and will say to use hemp based dyes or not to dye your hair at all. In my experiences though as well as friends who have become pregnant, they were all told that it was fine to have your hair dyed.  

Answer 8

we asked the doctor that and he said it was fine. the toxins in hair dye cant affect the baby unless you ingest it.

Answer 9

Many are safe, and a few aren't.  Read the box of the product that you want to use.  Most have a toll-free number, or a comment line you can call, and ask about that particular product.  In addition, when you call those numbers, they'll often send you coupons.

Answer 10

there are certain types of non-harmful dyes you can use.. but wouldnt reccomend dying
