hair dying
I know that some docs say you can and some say no...Just out of curiosity what did your doc say about dying your hair during pregnancy?

Re: hair dying

Re: hair dying
I asked my doc if I can get highlighted and he said NO!!!! I thought I only had to wait out the first trimester!!!
I may have to defy my doc on this one... 
I can't go without Japanese Straightening AND highlights! And I know PLENTY of people who did their highlights after the first trimester.
I hear coloring, though, is a different story, so I don't think I really helped you. Sorry!

Re: hair dying

Re: hair dying
I have colored my hair my whole pregnancy, my first trimester I switched to a non permanent color and then switched back to permanent 2nd trimester.

Re: hair dying
My doctors said that I shouldn't do anything the 1st trimester, but that highlighting was ok after the 1st tri b/c when you highlight, the bleach/color does not touch you scalp so the chemicals are less likely to absorb. They said I should not dye my hair.

Re: hair dying
I asked my OB if it was okay to dye my hair and he said it was fine.
A friend of mine is a colorist at a salon and she's 20 weeks pregnant now. I figure that if she can work 6 days a week around this stuff, I can be exposed to it for an hour once or twice!

Re: hair dying
Waited until my 1st trimester was over and did highlights at beginning of my 2nd trimester.
Will be doing highlights again next month.

This is exactly what my doctor said
