Thank you

Hair Coloring

You know what, I really don't know if it
is not safe, but I have colored my hair
twice since I have become pregnant, and my
hair is not damaged really bad now. My
doctor told me that my hormones are just
reacting negatively to the chemicals in
the dye.

I have hear that most chemicals, including
hair dye, are not good things to be around
while preganant. My sister is pregnant
and she couldn't even paint her house or
clean her kitchen! Be careful gals!

Please please dont color your hair while
you're pregnant...It will most definitely
affect the baby in some way....Whatever
goes through you, goes through the
baby....My aunt used to be a cosmetologist
and hairdresser, she worked with chemicals
dying peoples hair and she ended up
getting ovarian cysts from it...So please
stay away from any chemicals, for the sake
of ur baby!

You can't get cysts from dying your hair,
and dye can't get to baby through your
skin, you have to eat or drink it. I
have done it with every pregnancy and have
three beautiful healthy sons! Two words
for ya, wives tales.

I have never heard of getting cysts from
dying your hair, I have heard that the
hormones in your body and stuff can make
the color come out wierd but thats it. My
mom said that she died her hair when she
was pregnant the same color she always
dyed it and it turned and ugly wierd
shade. Hmmm but I dont know, dont dye my
hair

Ventilate

Yeah, you're right about the breathing
thing, if you plan on doing it make sure
you are in a well ventilated room and even
to be more on the safe side wear a mask.
If it's warm, do it outside! I have dyed
my hair the same color twice with every
(4) pregnancies, and still have yet to
turn a strange color, actually it looks
better than usual when I color when I am
pregnant, but every woman is different.
It takes better, so leave it on less than
the normal time. Good luck!

I have always dyed my hair. And when I
found out I was pregnate I had horrible
roots, and everyone told me no dont dye
your hair! But my Dr. Told me that so
long as you arent in your first trimester,
you should be ok do dye it once or twice.
There are no known effects of coloring
your hair.

Yeah you can color your hair while
pregnant. The doctors that I have seen
told me that it is better to do it in the
2nd trim. Though. There hasn't been any
research showing it actually causes any
complications or problems.

Yes!!! You can color your hair while you
are pregnant. It's not recommened in the
1st trimester b/c it may not take due to
hormones. I'm a cosmetologist and i'm
around color, perm and nails everyday and
I have had no problems with my pregnancy
or no problems with my baby. Every
person that I have talked to that does
hair had not problems with their
pregnancies or babies! And medical
researchers have no proof that it can
cause cancer, cysts, etc. As long as you
are in a well ventilated place you are
fine!!!!

Hey!!
People do whatever they want, but it is no
safe. My doctor said no way, but I really
wanted to color so I called my mom's
doctor in brazil and he said the same
thing. And what crombiechic16 said about
getting through your skin is totally
true.(that's what my doctor said) you do
not need to eat something to get through
your baby, that's crazy.
Just think about it.

Hey!!
I don't mean to sound mean or anything
about replies on haircolor, but I am a
cosmetologist. And if I knew of anything
about my job harming my my baby....Trust
me I would not of kept on working through
out my pregnancy. Color can not go
through skin, and there is no proff that
it harms mom and baby. Think about how
many women do hair that are pg and their
babies come out prefectly healthy.
Before assuming what your dr says about
anything.....Look on the web. There are
many cases where they could be wrong.

Well, I was asking myself this question
just today, after my 12 year old told me
that I had lots of greys. Thanks to you
all for all your comments. I am in a
high risk pregnancy and seeing all the
comments on this board have made me go
against dying my hair for a while, at
least till i'm no longer 'high risk'. My
doctor is against me doing it and I will
go with what he says because he knows
what's best for me and my baby. Thanks
again!!! :d

Why Not Wait - Just to Be Safe?
Posted: 12-01-04 22:04pm

There is not enough medical research on
the effects on hair coloring on your baby,
and some people say there is no problem at
all with the current chemicals used in
colorants, but most websites say to wait
until after the first trimester. This is
only 9 months out of your life - why take
a chance that any kind of chemical could
be absorbed through your scalp? (ever
feel the tingly sensation on your scalp
when you get your hair colored??) if you
can't wait that long to color your hair,
some sites suggest just getting highlights
- which don't touch your scalp. And if
you just can't wait to color your hair
even after all the warnings... Maybe your
priorities aren't in the right place.

Dear femminuccia,
firstly, I recommend that you follow your
doctor's advice.
But if you still want to color your hair,
why don't you go for some hi or low lites.
This way the color won't touch your
skin. Might be a nice change as well.
There is always time to go back to full
head color after your baby is born.
Jennifer

Color Your Hair If You Want To!!!!

I'm a cosmetologist and have herd the
rumors......(to not color your hair).
I've got a funny story...And yes I am
pregnant... I was doing my sister in
laws hair and got bleach (hair bleach on
my stomach..... I got a major allergic
reaction. It turned bright red and
started burning and itching. I freaked
out because of all the things that have
been said about not even coloring your
hair when your pregnant. I called my
doctor and she basically laughed at me..
Said "don't worry about the baby... But
if your worried about your skin you should
call your family doctor."

I have one question. If the dye cant get
in to the skin then why do you have to
where gloves. Will it dye color your skin
if you do not where gloves. Yes it will
trust me. Then think about this the top
of your is skin and it has poors wicth
they breath . If you dye your hair the
poors breath it in to skin then it gos to
your blood and can and will get to your
baby.
This is how my doctor told me
