Hair Dye & Pregnancy

Do you think it is permissible to use Hair Dye while pregnant? Could some of the chemicals in the dye possibly affect the baby?

Pregnancy and Dye Hair

There were many studies about it and none of them have ever determined that the chemical in the dye affect the baby. I asked my previous doctor about it and he said there is nothing wrong with it as long as you are doing it in a ventilated room just for your sake, it does not affect the baby. There are also many toxin-free hair dyes. The only recommendation is to do it when you pass your first trimester.

Check with your doctor if you have any concerns.

My wife uses hair relaxer and it says right on the package do not use if you suspect you are pregnant. Make me question if she should even be using it.

I think hair relaxer is different. It is a VERY strong chemical that (personally) I think should be handled by a professional only. Hair dyes instead come with toxin-free options.

I asked her that and the response I got was that the relaxer the professional use is even stronger! Scary thought at least to me.

I feel any kind of chemical, especially ones that cause lasting changes like dyes and relaxers should not be used while pregnant because the skin is like a sponge and what it absorbs is immediately passed to the blood stream and possibly on to baby.

Remember Gold Finger?

Wow, then she is safer to do it at home but if the package specifically says to NOT use it if the person may suspect she is pregnant, then she needs to make sure to follow that.

To her grief (tight hair roots) she did in the second trimester she ended up cutting her hair much shorter to get some relief.
