My roots are showing so badly and there's a family function coming up next month. Im in 2nd trimester now. Thoda scared about the chemicals reaching the baby. Did any of u colour ur hair while pregnant?
Honestly, I am currently in my 3rd trimester and my hair looks like a bird's nest with silver highlights! My doctor said ammonia-free dye is fine, but I don't even have the energy to sit in a salon chair for two hours right now. If you have the energy, go for a safe organic dye, but otherwise just wear a nice hairband and sleep!
Haan na, even I had the same doubt during my time! Gharo ghari setting alag hoti hai, and my mom told me not to use any chemicals. But honestly, if you use organic or herbal colors, it should be fine. Just avoid harsh chemical treatments for a few months, ho na?
Because I had severe allergic reactions and pressure fluctuations during my pregnancy, I had to be super careful. Some hair dyes contain very strong chemicals that can cause skin absorption or breathing issues. I would highly recommend asking your doctor first before booking any salon appointment. Don't take any random risks, always better to get professional medical advice.
My mother-in-law was very strict about not putting any chemicals on the head, as they believe it can cause heat in the body. But when I asked my gynac, she said a mild, ammonia-free hair color is perfectly fine after the first trimester. I trusted my doctor and did a patch test first. Just consult your doctor once and do what makes you comfortable, ma.
I actually got my hair colored in my second trimester because my gray hair was driving me crazy! I just made sure to use an ammonia-free dye and sat in a well-ventilated room. Everything went smoothly and my delivery was completely normal. Just wait till you cross the first 12 weeks to be safe.
I completely understand the urge to feel like yourself and look good, but please be very careful. After going through a heartbreaking loss in my first pregnancy, I became extremely paranoid about chemical exposure. I decided to completely avoid any hair dyes or chemical treatments until after my baby was safely born. If you do go ahead, please make sure the salon is well-ventilated so you don't inhale fumes.
