My hair needs some coloring, and I usually use natural henna or mehndi. Is it safe to apply mehndi on my hair during pregnancy, or should I wait until after delivery?
When I was staying at my parents' house, my mom used to make fresh henna paste from our garden leaves. It is very cooling and completely safe as long as it has no added chemicals or artificial dyes.
I've been wanting to apply henna too because my hair looks so dull lately. Is it safe to mix tea water or lemon in it during pregnancy? Or should we just use plain water?
I used purely home-ground organic mehndi during my pregnancy and it was completely fine. Just don't keep it on for too long so you don't catch a cold. It's a great natural way to condition your hair.
Haan beta, bilkul laga sakti ho. Bas dukan wali chemical wali mehendi mat lagana. Ghar pe pisi hui asli mehendi lagao, woh thandi hoti hai aur koi nuksan nahi karegi.
Personally, I only used organic, chemical-free henna once during my second trimester and had no issues. I didn't want to risk using chemical hair dyes. But if you have doubts, just ask your doctor.
Haan bilkul laga sakti ho, koi problem nahi hai! Bas dhyan rakhna ki pure natural henna ho na, chemical wali bilkul mat lena. Aur thand ke mausam mein mat lagana verna sardi ho jayegi.
Yes, you can use mehndi, but make sure it is 100% natural or organic henna powder. Avoid the packet ones that promise quick color because they contain chemicals like PPD which are not safe.
