Is it safe to apply henna on hair during pregnancy?

Question

My greys have started showing and im itching to put mehndi but suddenly got nervous about whether its fine right now. Im in my 5th month. Anyone applied henna while pregnant?

Karishma Bhatia · Answer

Beta pure natural mehndi on hair is generally considered safe, women have done it for generations. The thing to avoid is the black henna or chemical mixed ones, those have harsh stuff. Stick to plain natural henna and patch test first.

Haan i applied normal mehndi during pregnancy, no issue na. Bas wo ready made black wale mat lo, unme chemicals hote hain. Pure powder wala henna safe hai, mix it at home itself.

Pure plant henna on the scalp is usually fine, the concern is mostly with chemical hair dyes and adulterated henna. If u have a sensitive skin or any condition, just run it by your gynac. For a normal pregnancy, natural henna is generally considered low risk.

Natural henna on hair, yes, i did it in both pregnancies. Just make sure its 100 percent natural, no added chemicals or that black mehndi. Read the packet. The plain green henna powder is the safe one.
