Some people say that it is harmful and
others don't. I was told that it was bad
to breathe in the fumes and that the
chemicals can soak in through your scalp.
A lot of women still do it though. I
would ask your doctor what he or she
thinks.

I have searched so many websites looking
for an answer. I have a talked to a few
doctors as well.
Its best to do it in your second
trimester. They have done studies and
its come back that nothing bad has
happened to your baby. The fumes is what
you have to watch out for. Honeslty. If
you plan on bleaching your hair, make sure
the room is very well open and maybe even
turn a fan on. It goes the same for
colors too. I'm the type of person that
has been dying my hair since I was in
about 5th grade ; ).
I'd say its okay, but if you really wana
be sure get a few doctors opinions.

I think it is ok to dye your hair! When
one of my friends was pregnant she got her
hair done how she normally did like every
2-2 1/2 months and her doctor said it was
fine and her baby is fine! Its really
just depending on what you think is best!
But I dont think its harmful!

Dont Bleach Your Hair Posted: 07-11-05 01:50am
Bleaching your hair is harmfull for your
baby it has alot more chemicals than
normal hair dye when dying when pregnant
is fine but try not to breathe it in too
much but ive been told not anytime during
your pregnancy is it safe to bleach your
hair.
I spoke with my hair dresser on this one 2
days ago.. She said you shouldn't do a
full head bleach but it's ok to do
highlights as you don't go all the way to
your scalp with highlights, if you are
going to dye your hair to use an amonia
free or semi permanant. It's all about
the amonia on this one.

Please read the following - most medical
sites & doctors go by the teratology
information.
(?) is it safe for me to continue dyeing
my hair while pregnant? I have heard
conflicting information.
Yes. In years past, doctors often
recommended that pregnant women avoid
dyeing their hair. But i'm pleased to
tell you that most products used today to
achieve temporary, semi-permanent and
permanent hair color are considered safe
for use by pregnant women. The
organization of teratology information
services, which studies substances that
can cause birth defects, states, "in
animal studies, at doses 100 times higher
than what would normally be used in human
application, no significant changes were
seen in fetal development." but keep in
mind that pregnancy hormones may change
the texture of your hair, causing it to
respond differently to coloring
ingredients. So while it may be perfectly
safe to dye your hair, you may not get the
precise color you've come to expect.
