Rachel1991 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'm currently 13 weeks pregnant and desperately been wanting to dye my hair since finding out I was pregnant! I read online to not dye hair during first 12 weeks especially cos of the risk factor it can carry, but just wondering if anyone knows if its safe to do it now im in second trimester? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 They haven't done any full tests into whether it is safe or not, and how much dye gets into your body etc. I always do it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leah-Lacie Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'm in my 3rd pregnancy now, and this time alone, my hair has been dyed 5 or 6 times. I find it doesn't leave it in as nice a condition as it does when I'm not pregnant, and it seems to fade quicker, but it hasn't done any damage this time, or with my other 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEZZFAYE Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 i dyed my hair with both of mine, i even did it in the 1st trimester because i did not know i was pregnantbut it didnt cause any problems. but i did find same as leah that it wasnt in as good condition and needed doing a lot more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_daisy_ Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 i have my hair done every 4wks and by the time i found out i was pregnant id had it done at least 3 times. I checked with both my gp and midwife and then spoke with my hair dresser who all said it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birth-Peace Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I'm with Leah-Lacie, the colour doesn't stay as well when you are pregnant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma_Graham Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I read its fine but just make sure you do it in a well ventilated space because of the fumes, i have given up dying mine at the moment, i am 27 weeks and in need of a desperate cut and colour just haven't the time or energy!

The Blonde Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 It's fine but I felt my head burned more than when I wasn't pregnant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessKate Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 What colour are you wanting to colour your hair? as with any hair dye you should avoid getting it on your scalp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
