Hair coloured/highlighted when pregnant : Oh my god, I'm so sorry!...

Oh my god, I'm so sorry! There's no feeling worse than feeling your hair starts falling off as a woman. You definitely need more supplements in your life.

Sorry for chiming in to this thread so late, but I used to dread taking showers all the time. Now I don't mind at all to be honest.

This is my story and some of my best advice which I hope is going to be of much help.

I'm a woman in her 50's and I didn't give much thought to my sprouting gray hairs and my hair loss in my 30's during my first pregnancy because they were virtually undetectable; however, as my patch turned into a streak, I began to question whether or not I should address them although it was the last thing I wanted to do...

Should I color them? Should I stick to natural hairstyles where they'd go unnoticed? I was really on the fence, yet I didn't feel particularly rushed to conceal my grays...

I'm glad there are finally solutions out there for doing something about it that actually work!

This is a daily hair growth supplement that quite quickly helped me and my bestie to improve our hair and stop our hair loss with a few important but natural ingredients.

It wasn't until we found it we were able to make our hair stop falling off as fast although it doesn't stop completely!

I finally feel a lot more confident in my hair!

Wishing you the best of luck in your journey, sis.

Hope my advice was of help to you <3

My fertility guy told me I can get mine done after week 16, and not to use anything with willow bark in it.

I have several friends whom are hairdressers and worked right thru their pregnancys, colouring their own hair and those of pregnant woman. They are living proof their babys are normal. dont be so worried, there is enough to worry about other than a bit of hair colour. I am onto my 3rd pregnancy and am so grey from it all I have my roots done every 5-6weeks.

I would say as long as you dont snort the bleeching powder and wash it down with a bottle of wine you will be fine.

Hi Ladies

One thing I noticed is that if you look at hairdye packs (if you're doing it yourself) - none of them have "warning, do not use in pregnancy", which surely they would have to do if it were harmful in any way?

Get it done proffesionally and get foils so that it doesn't touch your scalp. Planning on having mine done in about 3 weeks.

Lots of salons now do organic hair dye, which has much fewer chemicals in it. You can get ammonia-free hair dye as well. Just ring around a few salons and you'll definitely find somewhere that will do it!

Happygal I'm getting highlights done in about 4 weeks time so when I am in the 2nd trimester. It worries me a bit as well but apparently highlights aren't so bad as the colour doesn't touch your scalp.

If you think about it I bet you our Mothers didn't worry too much when they were pregnant with us! Mum used to get her hair permed (god forbid) so you can imagine the chemicals they used to do that 38 years ago. I'm normal

The worry is more to do with the chemicals in the dye and it going thru the skin to the bloodstream to baby etc, as well as the airborne stuff. It's really your decision not the hairdresser as they are not the one with a babe and you are better off to do your own research.

Having said that there are lots of chemicals I stay away from when PG and even when not. I decided to wait until my 2nd trimester to get my hair streaked because I had your same concerns, and it looks bloody terrible but oh well, wasn't long to wait and I have decided to get it done once now and once b4 bubz is born. My decision and everyone is different. I did the same with first PG and all is good, and people are right you do need a little pick me up!

I coloured my hair all through my pregnancy with DD and she is fine and I'm still doing it now with second pregnancy. Just let your hairdresser know in case your scalp is more sensitive and also if you don't want the colour directly on your scalp

My hairdresser said there are no issues - if I wanted she offered to only use foils but to be honest for the amount of time the dye is on your scalp I wasn't fussed. I've had full heads of colour a couple of times this pregnancy - I've just exteneded the time between appointments so its about every 10weeks.

I was 6w when I had the first one done. I'll tell you in Nov if the midget is all in one piece

Its totally fine, mums a hairdresser and she said just make sure you are in a well ventilated room, and if you are worried wait until after the 1st Trimester.

I coloured my hair heaps when i was pregnant(made me feel less frumpy!) with my DS and DD, bleached it even, and all good My kids are fine!

One of the ladies from my antenatal group is a hairdresser and she said it is fine, just make sure there is plenty of fresh air coming in.
I did it at home and found I had to change my usual hair dye (a 10min one) as it hurt my scalp whereas prepregnancy it didn't. I used a 30min one and it was fine.

When I did my hair training we were taught that during pregnancy you're just a bit more susceptible to having an allergic reaction to the active ingredients in colour.
Highlights should be fine as they won't touch the scalp, if in doubt, ask your hairdresser, they know the products they're working with and if they have any doubts, they won't do it.

Hi Happygal, from what I understand there's no research to show that it is safe OR dangerous - generally if you're using a mild hair colour and it doesn't touch the scalp you should be fine?
Maybe you could go to a hairdresser to have it done, and get them to leave a bit of roots without colour just to be safe?

Hi girls,

Is it safe to get your hair highlighted when pregnant? I was wanting to get it done in a couple of weeks before I go on holiday, but have heard mixed things about it?
