Just a Question....
Posted: 11-11-04 23:36pm

Does anyone know if it is okay to dye your hair when you're pregnant... I don't know if I can go nine months without dying my hair, my roots are already starting to show, I mean if I have to wait, i'll wait, just a question out of curiosity. Smile

Dying your hair won't do a thing to the baby. But sometimes I read the smell can really make you want to throw up while pregnant because of the sensitivity of smell...

I think I remember hearing that some parts of your hair might not take the dye because of something to do with hormones and other things! Im not 100% sure but I think I heard that. It won't do any harm to the baby as long as you don't swallow it or breath the fumes in too heavily!! Smile

They just think is safer not to (they being a lot of the "experts) because the dye is absorbed into your scalp and anything you absorb could be possibly absorbed by the baby
i know there is a more logical explanation, like someone sown the family line, but my dad has black hair, my mom dark brown and my brother dark brown, but when my mom was pregie with me she bleached,dyed her hais a lot and when I don;t dye mine it is blonde.?????? Wink

Well I know everyone has their own opinions but my doctor told me that it's okay to dye my hair, and that the scalp doesn't actually absorb any dye or chemicals. I personally need to do it because my roots are totally showing but i'm gonna wait a bit only cuz every smell in the world is making me nauseous right now.

It's fine after 3 months, than you can dye your hair, however if you dye your hair within the first trymester, it can be very harmful to your baby!
