What is the recommendation now? I'm not thinking bleach, just a box of brunette to cover my frumpy greys!

Just patch test please. Pregnancy changes many things and you may find you are allergic all of the sudden.

Actually, I remember doing my hair during my last pregnancy and it went ginger...maybe I'll go to the hairdressers instead!

My hairdresser won't do colour that touches scalp during pregnancy so I make do with foils. Don't think there's ever been any conclusive evidence to say whether it can be harmful or not so like to be a bit cautious. I've had my hair coloured about every 5 wks during this pregnancy and all my other 3.

My hairdresser would do it but I chose to have foils instead. I didn't have full tint until well into pregnancy,about 30 weeks I think.
