here's some info on coloring your hair
while preg.
it says not to do it during the first 3
months of pregnancy
it also says that it's safer to do
highlights with foil
since the dye can be absorbed through the
scalp... doing foil the dye
doesn't directly touch the scalp and the
foil reduces the fumes, also
hope this helped =)

The paperwork that my ob gave me says that
it is perfectly safe to do both while
pregnant because they have actually found
that the amount that is absorbed through
your skin is not significant enough to
pose any risk for the baby. I would like
to warn you though that due to a lot of
the hormones during pregnancy your hair
can react quite differently to both perms
and dyes. My beautician literally refuses
to dye my hair while I'm pregnant cuz she
doesn't want it to like turn out green or
something and then have me crying. She
said that it's just not a good idea to do
it if you can't bear the thought of it not
turning out well. I decided to forgo my
highlights during pregnancy and I will
catch up with a makeover after the baby
gets here.

I know what you mean. I've thought about
maybe getting some lowlights put in in a
month or two to kinda blend in all my
highlights but I'm so scared about doing
it after she told me that. Maybe you
should just try a new do and go to the
mall and have someone do your makeup at
one of the make up counters. That would
make me feel good.

Yeah i might just settle with the hair
cut. I can wait to do the perm, or dye. My
hair is so freaking thick i can't do
anything with it, and i'm just so tired of
wearing it up in pony tails. I can't even
find a clip anymore that will hold my hair
up.

I'm scared to go short though. Being
pregnant i don't want something that will
make me look really heavy. But yes my face
is round. I tried a hair style about 4
months ago. Right after i got pregnant,
and it was awful. I'm still recovering
from it lol. I'm mostly doing this for my
fiance too. He loves when i wear my hair
down. But along with the thickness it gets
really really frizzy.

long 45min straightening hair..
