Hair Dye - safe when TTC?

[Memsahib]

Morning all,
TTC - and have read stuff saying you shouldnt dye/highlight hair. DH thinks its bollocks and that its just scare mongering (mind you he also thinks most of the food advice when TTC is nonsense too with the exception of avoiding/limiting booze)opinions please :)

I don't know the answer but I'd do it while TTC, and check out the facts for when pregnant.

Thanks IslandIsla. I think thats the issue - so many opinions, which may or may not be fact

There is no reason not to do it ttc and it is also safe when pg. My doc and hairdresser both agreed. Perhaps is you are bleaching might be different when pg.
There isn't anything you need to avoid food wise when ttc. You are allowed to eat what you like. All the doctors say when ttc is take folic acid, eat healthy diet like you should do anyway, and limit alcohol.
