Getting Your Hair Done? Posted: 03-08-07 23:37pm
Well, I am in the process of having my
first period after going off of birth
control. With the goal being for me to get
pregnant. (of course) Anyway, maybe it is
the hormones, but I *really* want a
change. Like a drastic new hair
color/style. My question is, I know that
once I become pregnant I will not be able
to maintain anything color wise, is it
stupid for me to do it now? Do any of you
ladies maintain any hair colors/styles
that you will not be able to keep up with?
How are you handling little things like
this?

My hair lady says that with the kinds of
colors they use now, you can continue to
color your hair when pregnant. I don't
know if I will but it might be something
to check into.

My sister is a hair dresser, and I am ttc,
so I have asked her this one already.
Basically, as long as you have your hair
foiled, as opposed to doing a full color,
you should be just fine. Even bleaching
your hair is ok, because the stylist can
just use an off-scalp bleach, which means
that the color and/or bleach will neve
touch your scalp, and, therefore, not be
absorbed into your skin.
My friend is a nurse, and she told me that
the reason you are advised not to get your
hair done during pregnancy is because your
sense of smell is so heightened, that you
will probably throw up due to the smell.
There really isn't any risk to you or the
baby from the color.
So, if you don't mind feeling a little
woozy, you should go for it! Good luck!
