How long after having a baby did you get your hair done?

Sounds like a weird question lol but I plan to get my roots done a few weeks after my baby is born. I’m platinum blonde to the root so don’t want to stretch it too long. I normally go in every (preferably) 4 to 6 weeks. I’ll be booking my first post baby appointment for middle of April to give me at least a couple of weeks after my baby is born and I plan to have my last pregnancy root touch up early March. I know it sounds a bit vain to be thinking of getting my hair done when I’ve had just given birth but I’ll not feel like myself with all the changes and I think it’s good to go for a bit of a boost. My hairdresser won’t mind if I have to take my baby but my husband will probably look after him.

how long did it take for you to get your hair done? Especially if you have a similar hair colour to me or a high maintenance colour because of some reason. Did you leave your baby with your husband or family member/friend or did you take your baby with you? If so how did they behave?

I know some people will say “why don’t you go for balayage or low maintainence colour?” But I’m pale with plain features so I need a bright or light colour to perk me up.

5 years but I’ve only been in a hairdressers about 6 times in my life so that’s not unusual.

3 months. Just as I was leaving DH brought the baby into the hairdresser to me (as we had planned if necessary). Hairdresser said I could have brought him in with me if I needed to
Appointment was 1½ or 2 hours
