It is safe as in it won't do you any harm
or the baby.
However, because the oils in your skin and
therefore on your hair change during
pregnancy you may find that any colour or
perm that you use either doesn't take as
well or takes stronger hold of your hair
than you would otherwise have expected.
The best compromise is to use a temporary
colour or use straightening plates or
curling tongs on your hair (with
appropriate hair protection).
Otherwise make sure the salon knows your
are pregnant and have a sit down
consultation with the stylist who will do
your hair, and discuss your options and
risks to your hair thoroughly first.

Chemicals for hair treatment and cosmetics
are not absorbed by the skin and can be
safely used during pregnancy.
