Dyeing your Hair
I have a ton of grays and really need to dye my hair.
I bought a Garnier dye from the drug store.
Its the one that has no ammonia.
Is it ok to use?

Re: Dyeing your Hair
I think it really depends on your doctor... my doctor says not at all. My friends dr said it was ok after the first trimester

Re: Dyeing your Hair
My Dr said nothing during the first trimester, and after that, highlights were better because it doesnt touch the scalp. I have completely stopped and dont plan to dye until this kid comes out

Re: Dyeing your Hair
Foils are ok because the chemicals are not on the scalp. Maybe you could do that in the mean time.

Re: Dyeing your Hair
My doc said ok after 1st tri. He said about 95% of his patients dye their hair. I have been dyeing it since 2nd trimester.

Re: Dyeing your Hair
I have to dye mine so bad too! I found ulta has these touch up sticks that help a bit. I use them for when I go out or have to work. It basically is a lipstick that you match to your hair. I think it was 5 bucks..hth!!

Re: Dyeing your Hair
I waited til second trimester, and I went to a professional. it took longer and was more money but the chemicals are less toxic than the box dye.

Re: Dyeing your Hair
I waited until I was 20+wks to do my hair- full dye to cover grays. My dr didn't say one way or the other. He just strongly advised not to do it in the 1st trimester.
