Getting hair done need advise

[c12341]

Hi girls am 7 weeks pregnant on Monday am I able to get a full head of highlights and a toner on my hair? I know it might seem a stupid question but am just worrying so needed some advise

I'm not sure any of that is recommended during pregnancy. I stopped all hair treatments once I found I was pregnant. But I think it's up to everyone to decide their own risk. Tell your hairdresser as they might be able to better products for you.

I got a full head of highlights in early pregnancy with no issues, albeit a long time ago so advice might've changed. I figured it's on your hair and doesn't touch the scalp so it's fine, but someone else might come along and say differently. Your hairdresser will know if it's OK or not, but I reckon it's fine.

I got my highlights done all through pregnancy - I was told it's fine and proper dye is more of an issue

Being pregnant can make you more sensitive to things so I think it's usually taken to not her treatments in pregnancy

I had my highlights done in early pregnancy.

I'm naturally brown haired but have it dyed blonde. I've had my roots done twice during the pregnancy and I've been fine. I'm 14+5 weeks now and my hairdresser has known from the start. Not sure about the toner though so could be worth asking

I don’t think there is a risk of hair colour - the risk of Covid is likely greater

I think highlights are ok as they don’t actually touch your scalp. As a pp said the risk of spending a long time in the chair at the salon is a greater risk from Covid.

I had my hair coloured throughout all three of my pregnancies with no issues.

I asked my midwife this at booking in and was told it is fine to get your hair dyed: as always make sure you allergy test as pregnancy hormones can alter your reaction to some things.

It's fine to have your hair coloured / bleached.

As pp have said your skin could be more sensitive but it won't harm your baby.

Thank you everyone x

It's absolutely fine.

You might just be a little more sensitive, so get a patch test done.

NHS advice is that it’s fine to get your hair coloured during pregnancy:

Some ladies wait until 12 weeks pregnant if they want to be extra careful.
I personally have had an all over hair colour done regularly since becoming pregnant. I haven’t found that I’m more sensitive to the colour but I did go in for a patch test for my first colour after lockdown just to be sure.

Hi there, I just booked in my hair this week and I’m just 10 weeks pregnant. I’ll be 12+ 3 when I get my hair done. I went for a consultation, told them I was pregnant and they saw no issues with it.
The last time I got my hair done it was done by a heavily pregnant lady, so depending on the products they use, it may impact. I’m going to Toni was Guy, their products are fine to use while pregnant I’ve been told (repeatedly because I keep asking).

Highlights should be fine as they don't touch the scalp. Check out more natural treatments like Aveda and ask to make sure you are in a well ventilated room. I diy my roots every 6 weeks and make sure the solution stays on for minimum time. Albeit I waited for 12w when placenta is developed to start.

Thank you everyone! X
