Is this safe to do at 9 weeks?

Question

HI Everyone,

just another random question lol,

i was just wondering whether it is safe to bleach hair at 9 weeks, i have some dark hair at the side of my face but don't want to remove it because it's not that much, i have the 'jolen' cream bleach but don't know whether i can use it...?

thanks in advance for any answers =D

Answer 1

There's a lot of debate about bleaching hair while your pregnant.  Some say you can foil your hair because it doesn't get very much on the scalp.   However, to bleach hair on your face, you would be getting the cream on your skin; therefore, you could absorb it.  So, I would say it is much too risky.  You can however wax while you're pregnant, and that would last you about 6 weeks.  Just be careful because your skin can be more sensitive while pregnant.  I'm 11 weeks pregnant, and I have noticed that I'm a bit hairier than usual--I found out that while pregnant your hair doesn't fall out like it usually does.  This is also how we end up with gorgeous thick locks (after the morning sickness).  So, I would try waxing if it is really bothering you.  Congratulations on being pregnant...I hope you haven't made too close of friends with your toilet. :)

Answer 2

Doctors are really kind of split on this topic. While there are no studies about dyeing/bleaching hair while pregnant, the chemicals from hair dye can be found in the blood of a pregnant woman (and therefore, we presume, the fetus). The fumes can also be harmful.

I always took the attitude that it was better to be safe than sorry and not do it.

Answer 3

I am not sure about studies but I would say no.  When I am pregnant I don't color my hair or even go to a hair salon due to all the smells.  I think it's sort of a personal choice.

Answer 4

i know your not meant to dye your hair till the 2nd trimester and only use certain ones, I'm not sure about facial bleaching though i would have a quick chat to your midwife  

Answer 5

I know you should not dye your hair while pregnant... I would assume the same for bleeching.  Get it waxed, much safer for the baby.  You shouldn't put any sort of chemical on your skin because it could eventually reach your baby.

Answer 6

That is such a little bit I would think that it was ok - but Im no Dr.  I would call and ask.  I have heard that it was ok to do things like that as long as you were out of your first trimester.  I have also heard that it is not ok at all.  Just call to be sure.

Answer 7

I wouldn't because of the chemical smell.

It's not healthy for you in general and more so for the baby.

Answer 8

I would ask your doctor!!

I was told it was fine to dye your hair while pregant!!!

and my little mans fine so far!!!!

x*x

Answer 9

I did that, dyed my hair, and even got a perm through out both of my pregnancies.  Both of my children came out healthy.  It's a personal choice.  Geesh, my one friend even went for a brazilian wax before she had the child so she "would look good down there".

Answer 10

my doctor told me i could dye my hair after my first trimester was over so you may want to wait a few more weeks.

Answer 11

My doctor told me that it wasn't proven to be safe during pregnancy, so err on the side of caution and not do it until after the baby is born. I wish you the best!

Answer 12

I would say that it's not very safe because of the chemicals. It'll eventually go into your body and harm the baby.
