Is hair smoothening safe during pregnancy?

Question

I have a wedding to attend next month and was thinking of getting smoothening done. But im 5 months along and now im second guessing because of the chemicals. Did any of you do it during pregnancy?

I skipped it during pregnancy just to be safe. Did it later happily.

Yami Oberoi · Answer

Most people advise skipping chemical treatments like smoothening during pregnancy, mainly the strong fumes and chemicals. I just waited till after delivery honestly. If you really want, ask your gynac first.

I overthought this exact thing for weeks lol. In the end I just avoided it, those harsh chemicals made me uneasy. A simple haircut and oiling kept me happy till delivery. If unsure, your gynac can reassure you.

There isnt super clear data so most docs say better avoid it to be safe, especially first trimester. The smell itself can be too strong when you are already nauseous. I chose to postpone mine.

Yaar I had the same craving for smooth hair! But actually I dropped the plan during pregnancy, the chemicals and that strong smell na, not worth it. Did it after baby came. Check with ur doc once also.
