well they say you can after the first trimester just fine and not hurt the baby as long as you wear like a mask thing to not breathe the chemicals in. Idk I don't trust it personally though. In my opinion your body absorbs the chemicals through your scalp, but I mean if the doctors say it's fine then it should be. I would ask yours to see what he/she thinks.

Yea girl I feel you;; I get my hair done every 5 weeks too i didn't even know what my natural hair color was..and then they told me after the first trimester but I was so scared that I would cause some harm lol so i never did it i just let my hair grow out and u better beleive the week after she was born i dyed my hair LOL

but talk to your DR !! Oh and also this will give ur hair more of a reddish brown color but Henna is supposed to be safe because it is all natural AND after I gave birth of course someone told me they make pregnancy hair dye that doesn't have the amonia or other chemicals in it..idk about it but google <3

Hey!

I used to dye my hair like every 2 months and I would go to extreme in colors. I would go from platinum blonde to jet black, to pink to blue--i love changing my hair! I've dyed my hair twice though during my pregnancy. The doctor told me after 13 weeks I can dye my hair as long as it's in a well ventilated area with windows and such.

I only died my hair twice while i was pregnant.. because it was expensive to get it done every 6 wks and buy baby stuff and all that... I believe i died my hair at 8 wks. My doctor never said anything about it being harmful.... although my doctor didnt even tell me how to use my birth control...But Hawley is healthy so it didnt hurt her.

i totally understand. about a month before i got pregnant i decided to dye my hair black but i have this really ugly natural shade of brown. they told me that after the first trimester i would be okay but i just couldn't bring myself to risk it. a week after he was born i died it right back to the red it was before i tried out black but for about 8 months my hair was half black and half brown. not so attractive at all! haha. but not such a high price to pay to have a healthy baby.
