hair colouring... can i??

[scarednoob]

desperate to get rid of the 2 tone and grey streaks, am 21 weeks. the hairdresser says it's fine and she'll use a semi.

what do you think? would you risk it? the alternative is to have some blonde highlights over the grey, but she seemed to think that was quite a big undertaking...

Yes, it's fine. www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/949.aspx?CategoryID=54

Thank you - I did it! But went for gloss semi and she said she used a very low level of developer.

I hope so, currently 16+1 and sat in hairdressers with a full head of bleach

A semi will be fine or a permanent in highlight form. It isn't suggested that you put on roots! I coloured my hair before I found out I was pregnant and it burnt!! X

Sorry rephrase, it isn't suggested that it touches the scalp. As everything can become a lot more sensitive in pregnancy. And prone to irritation. I thought it was because I'd used one of my salon colours and maybe it was too strong but I bought a nice and easy and that burnt too! And I've never had a problem prior to pregnancy. And I'm a hairdresser x

hair dye is fine and not harmful even on the roots. Pregnancies can affect the way the colour 'takes' on the hair. Once I needed mine redone as the first colour did not turn out the way it should have

Yep, there's no reason to avoid the roots except that as your immune system changes when pregnant you may react to stuff you didn't before, so you should do a patch test first.
