Dye and hair bleach around babies

Hi, so I've been offered a mobile hair appointment but have no one to watch my 11 week old twins. Would it be harmful if I was to have my hair dyed in the same room as them? Am I better cancelling for another day?

I definitely would not do this. Bleach fumes can cause respiratory issues.

Quite apart from that, how can you take care of two little babies if you're sitting having your hair dyed? Sounds stressful to me.

Rearrange for a day when someone can take the babies out for a walk. Don't worry about roots or whatever. Nobody is expecting you to look polished at this stage of parenthood!
