Hair colouring

[HaggisNeepsTatties]

Hi all,

Just wondering what you all do about getting your hair done when you're pregnant? I've got an appointment booked for when I'll be 9+4 and I usually have an all over colour. Seem to be finding conflicting advice about how safe it is particularly in 1st trimester.

Thanks!

Hey Haggis!

When i went to see my midwife at 8 weeks she told me that it was absolutely fine and that the only thing to be careful of was the colour myt take quicker than normal. I dnt usually dye my hair but had a treat yesterday and had an all over colour and its great. She said that it was a load of old tosh that it would do anything to the baby. As is the whole fake tan thing! Haha.

Hope that helps

O i am 22+5 btw now!

That's good to know! Thanks Shell!

i've been going to my hairdresser as normal and he says it's not an issue. If people are really bothered he can do a patch test just incase the scalp had become any more sensitive. But i've been bleached and toned to hell during my pregnancy and been fine

I bleached mine and dyed it pink when i was pregnant! no harm done at all :P

the advice against dying your hair whilst pregnant is outdated (think back to when they put copious amounts of chemicals in everything) x

Great news! At least I won't have to have ridiculous roots, and the odd grey showing through!

NHS seems to think it's fine!
