My roots are showing so bad and theres a function coming up next week. Im 5 months now and a bit worried if the chemicals reach the baby na. Did anyone color their hair during pregnancy without issue?
I had the same doubt while breastfeeding actually. It's usually better to wait till the second trimester if you really want to color, and use ammonia-free ones. I did that and my baby is doing great, just make sure the room is well ventilated.
Honestly, my MIL was completely against it when I asked. She said these chemical smells are not good for the baby. To be safe, I just avoided it and used simple heena ghar pe instead.
When I was staying at mummy's place, she told me to avoid chemical dyes. We just made natural mehendi pack at home with beetroot juice for a nice tint. It was so much safer and my hair felt really soft too.
Its always best to check with your gynac once before doing any hair treatment. Mine told me to wait till 12 weeks and avoid touching the scalp directly if I'm coloring. Safety first na, so do ask your doc once.
Congrats on your pregnancy! I wanted to get a hair touch-up too but my recovery after C-section was so exhausting that I forgot about all this. If you do go, just make sure you don't have to sit in one position for too long because back pain can get bad later.
Oh I completely get why you are asking, even I used to worry about every single chemical during my time! It is totally normal to feel anxious about these things. Just to feel relaxed, you can choose organic or henna colors instead of strong chemical ones.
