I usually get my hair relaxed regularly, but now that I'm pregnant, I'm worried about the chemicals. Is it safe to relax my hair during pregnancy, or should I avoid it completely? I want to make sure it's not harmful for the baby.
Actually I was planning to get my hair relaxed next month, but now that we are trying to conceive, I'm super confused too! Is it really that risky? I heard the chemicals are very strong, so I might just stick to normal hair cuts for a year.
I remember wanting to get my hair relaxed so badly during my second trimester because of the crazy frizz! But my gynac said absolutely no to strong chemicals on the scalp. Looking back, I'm glad I waited, and now with my toddler, I barely get time to even comb it, haha!
I had the same urge to fix my frizzy hair but my doctor strongly advised against chemical hair relaxing. Even now while breastfeeding, I prefer staying away from such strong chemicals just to be completely safe. Natural hair is beautiful anyway, so wait a bit.
Aiyyo, better to avoid those strong chemical treatments for now! 🚫 Your scalp can absorb some chemicals and early pregnancy is very sensitive. Maybe try a nice deep conditioning spa at home instead, safer and so relaxing! 💆♀️
I had a normal delivery and honestly, during my pregnancy, I chose to avoid any chemical treatments like relaxing or coloring. The fumes alone can make you feel super nauseous. It's just a matter of a few months, your natural hair will be fine.
I don't know much about hair treatments, but generally during pregnancy, our bodies are extra sensitive. Just like I had to be super careful with my diet due to gestational diabetes, we have to watch what goes on our skin and scalp. Best to ask your dermatologist or gynac.
