Can I have my hair highlighted

[rmorris95]

Hello! I was just wondering on whether it is safe to have a half head of hair highlights in the first trimester? There seems to be so much conflicting info online!

Hey. I’m still dyeing my hair myself and I’m nearly 19 weeks. The amount of chemicals can only harm the baby if it’s a huge amount. I think you’ll be fine.

Yes, you can - NHS advice is clear that there's no issue with dying your hair during pregnancy, other than you may need a new patch test as your skin could be more sensitive to the dye (not likely to be a major issue if you're having foil highlights as you shouldn't be getting much/any dye on your skin).
