Can I color hair or do highlights

I've been coloring my hair and doing highlights my entire pregnancy. Just make sure you're in a ventilated area.

Re: Can I color hair or do highlights

I highlighted my hair from before I knew I was pregnant and then every 8-10 weeks the entire time.
My DD has no deformities.
It's fine

My OB said highlights are fine because they don't actually touch the scalp. Single process dye he said to wait until the 2nd trimester.

My OB didn't care but I waited until late in my 2nd trimester to do all over color. Mostly because I didn't want to be inhaling all those fumes. I've only colored twice my entire pregnancy and everything is fine at 38 weeks.

I personally wouldn't. I would ask the doctor.

Asking the OB would probably be the best thing to do. I just dyed my hair a week ago since I gave birth to my son on March 8th. Boy did it feel great not to see the roots!

We also leave for Disney next week (Friday)...happy travels!

I dyed my hair my entire pregnancy. If you are concerned there are more natural dyes.

This is what my colorist said too- the dyes they use now are far more natural than what was used in the past. In fact, she's pregnant too with a healthy baby boy, just about 32 weeks now.

And not only that, as mentioned earlier, highlights don't even touch your scalp.
And for color that does, it's such a TINY bit that would even absorb through your scalp to even get to your bloodstream. I mean unless you are drinking the dye, it would be quite a stretch for it to do any harm.
