pregnant and hairdye

[vikki]

Well i was wondering if its ok to die your hair well being pregnant is it better to do it outside? i was just wondering if its ok to dye it im not bleaching just want my hair back to dark dark brown

[LucyLouWho]

I've always heard that it's okay as long as you're not in your first trimester and you do it in a well-ventilated area so you're not breathing a lot of it in.

[vikki]

ok i thought so thanks

[Larrinda]

I always heard that if you dye your hair while you are pregnant it needs to be a natural hair dye,.?

[guillotine_blades]

ask ur doctor.

[hopefaithlove]

Definitely ask your doctor. I have heard that it is NOT okay.

[losing touch.]

if in doubt, wait til you've asked your doctor to be sure. my friend dyed her hair when she was pregnant, but i very much doubt she asked her doctor beforehand so that's not much to go on.

I HIGHLY suggest you get the book pregnancy for dummies... it rules out old rumors like hairdye, manicures and so on. Hair dye was vetoed out back in the days when it used harsher chemicals, alot of hair dyes no longer contain those chemicals.

lol pregnancy for dummies ok lol kinda funny but ill look into it and im going to ask my doctor to be on the safe side

[mommieof2]

there is nothing wrong with it...As long as you arent breathing in all the chemicals. It wont hurt anything. the only thing it could do...your hair night not take the dye as well as it normally would because of your hormones..But i never had a problem with it.

You'll hear that no, it is not okay, and you'll here yes, it is okay. I did with my son. I dyed my hair black. My son was completely fine and born on his due date. I think its personal preferrence for the most part. Do make sure though that its well ventilated in the area you're doing it in. And if its possible, get the stuff that doesnt have amonia in it, much easier to breathe. If its warm enough to do it outside and have some help with your kids, then Id do it that way personally.

yeah im going to do it outside but im going to wait tell the 8th of oct to talk to my doctor

[yerstarr]

i agree with all of the others. the fumes are toxic to the baby just like your not suppose to deal with kitty litter because of the fumes. i would suggest to not dye your hair. but always ask the doc

[x-iloveyou-x]

It's fine to do so, I'm going to school to become a hairstylist & my professor told the class, it's fine. She worked in the salon, doing clients being pregnant with both of her children and they turned out fine.

[vikki]

well thats good to know

[brs6771]

no its not ok. I actually just got back from my doctors today about this... so thats weird. ha. But ne way, hair dye should NOT be used on pregnant women. Even if the fumes arent strong... the chemicals are harmful to the baby. I had 3 doctors tell me this. so...

[vikki]

oh lol that is weird and thanks for the advice im going to see my doctor on the 8th of oct so ill also ask him

[cherryqueen1248]

i wouldnt worry about it if i was you, but if you are really worried maybe just call up your doctor to double check!
my PM box is ALWAYS open if you need to talk about anything! keep me posted on the baby!!!!

lol I watched that episode too. However, we are not ultrasound techs, or doctors so we don't know. If you don't trust your doctors opinion, get a second one

[vikki]

yeah but the thing is i have had 3 different doctors tell me 3 different things i just wish they could get it right
